Do Sustainable Practices Add Value?

It depends on what your definition of value is. If you think every sustainable step adds up and creates more space, less impact- then yes it adds value. If you think that sustainability costs more than it's worth-then the answer is no. I would like to think there is a middle ground. Restaurants and bars are in a very unique position. The chain goes full circle with many opportunities to practice sustainability in between. Communicating what specific sustainability practices are being followed on a menu or sustainability board may add value when customers who support these efforts stop by more frequently. Currently sustainability practices are driven by cost and accessibility which for most is a hindrance. Could there come a day when sustainability practices are reviewed on the same plane as product, price, service and atmosphere?
