The economy is causing consumers to tighten their budgets, meaning less money spent eating out. But eco-conscious consumers are not slowing down their spending at green restaurants.
According to the National Restaurant Association, 44% of consumers consider a restaurant’s green practices. And 4 out of 10 full-service restaurant operators say they will spend more on green initiatives in 2009.
Employees and customers are demanding environmentally friendly practices. Restaurants are staffed mostly by people between the ages of 20 and 30. A green certification gives you an edge in marketing your company.
Some hesitate to go green because of the belief that becoming a green restaurant costs a lot of money. Fortunately, the GBB’s initiatives are both business-friendly and eco-friendly, going green saves money!
Restaurants are facing new regulations related to sustainability practices. Recent legislation includes bans on plastic and Styrofoam packaging and mandatory recycling. These are just some of the many reasons why you should go green!
