“We wanted to do something that would help us and give something back to society. Everything is done by our own hands.

“I study innovation and skills for social change at Leeds University and I applied the logic to this restaurant. I applied the theory of change to this project.

“We have had lots of views on Google. We are now getting the gist of Foodhub and other online platforms - we are also on JustEat.”
