Fantasy RPG Forum - Standing Trials

An exclusive restaurant nestled in the middle of Scalvoris Town, Cally's is considered to be the best in food that the entire island has to offer. The cuisine is sourced from the farmholding outside the town which is part of the business. Only the finest fresh, home grown produce are selected and they are used in dishes which are created and prepared by someone at the very pinnacle of their skills.

The atmosphere in Cally's is one of quiet comfort. Whilst the food is beyond exquisite, the decor is unpretentious and the seating comfortable. Crisp white linens and crockery are offset by the shining cutlery and glassware. The serving staff are quick and unobtrusive, seeking to make sure that the customers' needs are met before they know they have them.

It is well known in Scalvoris that Cally's is part of a wider business run by Faith, the chef and owner, which provides education and funds a number of charitable endeavors. The produce are grown as part of this business, helping to teach people how to grow their own food and the kitchen is a place which teaches how to cook. A large margin of the profits from the business go to charities and, as Cally's expands, it aims to provide a continued service to the island of Scalvoris.

• Aim: The purpose of <name> is to provide a community service to Scalvoris. Once the restaurant is established and no longer in debt, the aim is that first the land will be expanded and then barracks-style accommodation will be put at the back of the restaurant. This will be a hostel for a small number of those who are willing to work in order to learn a trade. They are given a place to live and the opportunity to learn farming, running a business and / or cooking, in return for which they provide extra, free, hands. Once they have undergone the training, they are replaced by another, and so it continues. I'm thinking there will be five trainees at any one time.
• Profit Faith will take a maximum of 50% of her wage from this venture with the aim of investing back into the business and then, once it is functioning to it's maximum (including the farming land being livestock as well as crop), she will use it to fund community projects such as providing free education etc.
• Social Enterprise? A social enterprise is the middle ground between business and charity. Whilst still making a profit some or all of that profit is put back into the community, often providing education, skills and other services to those who are most needy. That is the aim of this business and, as the profits (hopefully!) continue to come in, they will be invested in more and more community projects which Faith will either start herself or will donate money to
