Volunteers will work with the restaurant to verify the score and answer questions. The rating will be valid for one year and then has to be rechecked. We will visit the restaurant in person to verify their sustainability actions. The scorecards will be uploaded here for transparency and anyone visiting these restaurants can reference the scorecard and let us know if anything seems off!

We will promote and hype the restaurants that are EAT partners through our website, social media, newsletter and more! There are also business case benefits to being more sustainable that we are highlighting in an incentives brochure (coming soon)! As more restaurants sign on we will also build a network to bring more sustainability options to our partners at lower costs through bulk packages when possible!
