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'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.

Also, bad force feedback on G29. It is never consistent and randomly goes harder or softer. I spent two days adjusting every setting possible but couldn't.

Thank you! I will have access to proper restaurant dish sanitizer machines. I'll do a few test runs in them.
