A huge and undeniable part of running any business, but especially a restaurant, is to make money. You have to turn a profit to pay your employees, continue to buy food products from your supplier, and keep people coming back to your restaurant. But there’s something to be said for establishing a charitable giving program that helps put some of that money back into the community, or otherwise help those less fortunate than you and the rest of your company. And, as this post from QSR Web points out, giving to less fortunate members of your local community via fundraising or other charitable organizations can actually have a positive effect on your bottom line, too.

Having a charitable giving program is not only an excellent way to give back to the community surrounding your restaurant, but it also helps to establish your business as a reputable brand. Consumers tend to trust brands that aren’t *only* about making money, but that keep the bigger picture in mind, especially through giving. Finding a local or national charity that makes sense with your restaurant’s mission and vision can be a great way to become a more well-rounded part of the local business community.
