The Beehive Cafe reincarnated

We are so excited!!! Steve and I have decided to turn The Beehive Cafe into a karma cafe. It's based on the concept of a "community kitchen" - no set menu, no set prices - patrons pay what they think the food is worth and they can also decide on portion size so hopefully eliminate waste. We'll have suggested prices by portion size for people who might feel a bit uncomfortable about the idea of not having fixed prices. The main thing being that we wouldn't turn anyone away for lack of funds and food waste would be diminished as well.

Being in Italy, we're going to have to make it a cultural association and non-Beehive guests will have to pay a small amount to become a member - €1 or €2, but membership is good for the year. In this way, we overcome the limitations we've had of not being able to actively publicize ourselves to the community and we get to do something we think is a really cool idea essentially expanding our philosophy of The Beehive into our cafe - offering quality, healthy and delicious food to all and not limited by how much someone can or cannot afford. Some of our staff and I'm sure others will think we are wacky, but hell - why not??
