It’s hard enough running a restaurant, but when the usual model is tweaked to encompass a social cause, that then becomes a whole different kettle of fish. We speak to Munirah Hamid, Pertiwi Soup Kitchen and Sharon Lee of Tender Hearts Cafe about the specific challenges of running F&B based enterprises that are tied to social good and have Brian Lariche, a CSR Consultant weigh in on how they can better manage their organisations.
