SERVING UP LIFE CHANGING RESEARCH
Our Social Enterprise Model
What is a Social Enterprise?
A social enterprise is a business that operates to address social problems or improve communities or the environment. In the case of The Café for The Common Good, profits from the social enterprise help offset some of our operating costs so we can maximise the impact of charitable donations. This means that donations made to The Prince Charles Hospital Foundation, can go on to support incredible life-changing and life-saving research into critical health areas including heart disease, lung disease, mental health and ageing.
Our business model encompasses low overheads due to the generous support of partners and site hosts, including low to no rent spaces and value driven partnerships with suppliers such as Merlo Coffee Roasters.
In 2020, The Café for The Common Good was proud to win the Lord Mayor’s Business Award for the Outstanding Social Enterprise. We are also grateful to have received Social Enterprise growth grant from the Queensland Government Department of Employment, Small Business and Training to expand our fresh food vending machines, to providing nutritious food to staff and hospital visitors after hours.
Our Food Philosophy
The Café for The Common Good encourages a farm to plate philosophy, supporting local Queensland growers. The menus are curated daily with an emphasis on seasonal produce. All the food is freshly prepared onsite by our fully qualified chef.
As well as barista-made Merlo coffee and hot drinks the café provides gourmet hot meals, sushi, sandwiches, soup, salads and take-home meals.
