鈥淔inancial sustainability, social justice, social sustainability in anything鈥攈ow you hire, how you purchase and environmental sustainability鈥攈as been one of the focus points and everything we鈥檝e done has been put through that checklist,鈥� Redel said. 鈥淓verything you鈥檝e been served is compostable鈥攃ontainers, lids, spoon, everything.鈥�
Sustainability is also a key theme in implementation of the SRC鈥檚 daily activities, according to Bradley.
鈥淚 also wanted to [鈥 eliminate as much food waste as possible while still giving a nice variety,鈥� Bradley said. 鈥淪o, that鈥檚 why we have our menu designed with burritos everyday and the soup and the sandwich rotate. That lets us control waste and labour costs in the back of house a little bit better so we can still really streamline operations in the front while still giving people a different option everyday.鈥�
