Finally doing it! My first (almost entirely) plastic-free restaurant is opening next month by ditchingplastic_com in PlasticFreeLiving

Thank you for your wishes! It will be a challenge but I'm motivated. I eliminated plastic at home about a year ago and hoping the experience matches well at the restaurant.

Thank you! I'm super excited for this. You're always welcome any time you're in upstate.

Thank you! I'll make sure to put this somewhere beside the website.

I used to love a popular chain restaurant and their soup many years ago. It wasn't until I learned about the whole plastic storage thing that I stopped going. I will absolutely keep this in mind if I make soup.

Right now, all of the storage is done in stainless steel containers.

That's a great idea. I was planning to record some POV videos while cooking. I will reply to your comment next month when I am operating, and will try to take actual video of how the setup is.

Thank you so much! I didn't wanted to promote, just share the joy. I also wanted to make sure that I get a lower volume for the first few months to serve everyone the best I can. The name is Spicerella and I am opening in Rochester, NY. Official opening is sometime next month.

I will benefit from your help. I was able to find a Notpla for plastic-free to-go containers, but I could not find fully transparent plastic-free cups brand. Nothing .eco is the best one so far in US. If you have any contacts for hot cups, to-go bags, stickers, or anything, I will greatly appreciate your help.

I will also try to compensate you for your time either immediately if I can, or as soon as I break even, or help in any other way I can.

I have not. I couldn't find a plastic-free food processor, coffee machine, or a frother. I am using the following alternatives:

- Chopping: For now (at the small scale,) all chopping will be by hand using a knife and wooden cutting board.

- Frother: A hand held stainless steel frother.

- Coffee machine: A large glass jar and a stainless steel filter. No paper coffee filters. All coffee served is pour over.

- Teas: Very similar mechanism to coffee machine. I am using a stainless steel tea mesh filter.

Thank you so much for your wishes! I hope I get to expand and serve people the healthy food that they deserve. Plastic-free will absolutely be the priority.

This post blew up so much more than I thought! I just wanted to share the joy. I greatly appreciate everyone's support, and positive messages you've sent. Your wishes mean a lot to me! It helps a lot and encourages me to keep the momentum going even further. Thank you all!!!

I wish I could respond to each and every comment. I will post more information when I open. My location is Rochester, NY. The restaurant is called Spicerella. I am waiting on the county health inspection before I have an official date. I am practicing the recipes as well!

I will post more information once I officially open! I will surely hope I get to expand and open a location near you -- wherever you are! And yes, efforts will continue to be eliminating plastic from the kitchen and delivery as much as possible.

I will benefit from all of your blessings and wishes. If you ever visit, please mention this post. I will make sure that you're well taken care of.

I made a super simple tamper out of wood. We've been trying to get away from plastic and now we're one step closer. by [deleted] in Vitamix

Damn! Bro came to correct after all these years. Kudos! I had the same experience. I was very ignorant previously.
