2 Vegetarian Friendly Jobs, also Latest Restaurant News

[Guest guest]

Organic Cafe now open 8am for weekend brunch *early*,

*yawn*. Weekend Buffets all day long. They are doing

extremely well. A weeknight dinner, they sometimes

serve as many as 100 meals per day. (are they rich

yet? NO.)

 

VegeHouse just opened their third place, if you want

their reviews, just read the reviews from their other

stores. It's similar food. A more complete menu

coming soon in a few weeks at Berkeley.

 

If you want to know about if the carpet or the paint

in the new place is new, it's best to find out

yourself rather than trusting someone else's.

Why, cause your health is at stake. (please don't

take this personally)

 

Herbivore, I'm keeping up to date with them every

week. A few weeks ago they started interviewing

people. The people they interview is basically from

word of mouth referral. They didn't want me to help

promote their search. Currently they have 20 regular

employees, glad they will be hiring more.

 

Currently they have a few vegetarian servers, but I

don't think any of the cooks are vegetarian.

Below is an establishment that serves vegetarian pizza

but has cheese in it. Eric Marcus and many vegans are

crazy for vegan pizzas. There's definately a big

market for it....no cholesterol too. more info at the

end

We are a worker owned and operated bakery, focusing on

baguettes, a variety of mostly sourdough breads,

pastries, and vegetarian pizzas made with fresh

ingredients. Workers share in all of the work,

including baking, serving customers, and cleaning,

although some may concentrate on different types of

work at different times. Baking requires a lot of

training, which we provide. Part of the work is

helping to run the business. As a democratically run

cooperative, we seek agreement on all important

decisions and operate without managers or other

hierarchy. As members of the Association of Arizmendi

Cooperatives that includes Berkeley's famous Cheese

Board and the Arizmendi Cooperative in Oakland, we

have strong support in our continuing development.

 

We currently pay ourselves $12.00 per hour and have

medical coverage for members. Everyone gets the same

pay, which will increase as business grows. Members

also share a portion of the surplus earnings at the

end of the year, although all compensation depends on

the income generated by the business.

As members of a cooperative, we are not just workers

and partners, but committed to mutual support of one

another and other coopertives, to top quality baking,

and providing excellent service to the community.

 

Members generally have backgrounds, interests, and

values including the following:

- Love to bake and cook, and many have professional

experience doing so.

- Have been part of groups that operated cooperatively

and democratically.

- Are used to work that is often physically hard and

tiring.

- Welcome the responsibility to help run a business

and at the same time look out for the welfare of

co-workers and the community.

 

Becoming a member

- Probationaly status: The decision on membership is

generally made after a six month period duting which

the candidate and Arizmendi can decide on their mutual

fit. Prospective members will be expected to function

like all members during this time, and receive the

same regular pay as all others.

- Upon becoming a member, members need to invest a

minimum of $500 toward a total required investment in

the cooperative of $5000. The remaining amount can be

paid though small regular wage deductions. The

investment will be returned when the member leaves the

cooperative.

 

Application Procedure

If you'd like to apply, please come to 1331 9th Ave

(at Irving) and ask anyone in the store for an

application form. Please return the completed form to

the store. We will call you about next possible steps

in the application process

Where are these two places located?

Arizmendi Bakery on 9th Avenue, between Judah and Irving.

I have a problem with them (they're around the corner from

where I live). The two times I've gone in there, I've gotten

two different responses from two different counterstaff about

whether they have vegan products or not. (And forget non-wheat).

First time: I was steered to a tasty, though very oily, foccacio.

Second time: " No, we absolutely do not have any vegan products,

ever " .

I am distinctly *not* inspired to return, but I was never a big

bread eater anyway, even before I went vegan. It's too bad, though

because it's a nice place to sit and chat, they have benches inside

and out on the sidewalk in front too.

Why there are no bakeries here that make wheat-free (I'm not

allergic, just want to cut down on wheat) vegan baked goods has

been a mystery to me. LifeThyme Foods on Sixth Avenue in NYC

has the most splendid vegan bakery, with lots of wheat-free choices

(mostly spelt, which may or may not help some folks). I mean -- spelt

flour chocolate chocolate chip cookies (not a typo - chocolate chocolate

chip!). Jeez!

 

My two cents worth,

voted best bakery in SF

 

I just called them, they have vegan and non vegan

foccacio, so it depends which one you pick.

 

It's true that most bread are made of wheat. Most

people are cutting down on bread entirely though.

 

Most of the desserts are not vegan. There is a great

bread called Wolverine that's filled with nuts and

raisins that can be a dessert.

 

Vegan pizza available if you order BEFORE 9:30am.

 

Organic Fair Trade Coffee Served, Vanillia Soy Milk

available, 20cents off if you bring your own cup, 10%

off on everything for seniors, bicyclists, and fast

fast holders.

 

They are trying their best. Feel free to contribute

to their suggestion box. Gotta check out their web

site. They are not perfect, but they their attitude

and openess is way way better than franchised

businesses.

 

Your money is your voting power. If there's a market

for wheat-free or vegan product they'll make it.

Vege House is located in Berkeley, SF, and Oakland.

Organic CAfe is located in Oakland-I have posted more

than 3 posting about this place. They are also listed

every week in SFBAVEG calendar

When rent comes down even lower, an all Organic, Vegan

Japanese restaurant will open. It will be one of

the top 3 restaurants in town. Hold your horses, it

might not happen till 2003.

--

Any body want to hold a party at Kam's Vegetable

Restaurant? They are willing to do a all Vegan menu

if there's enough people. Sat day is a good time.

They are closed Sat Night, unless there's a private

party. Salad only $3.50 per lb, take BART from

downtown and get off 16th St. Other similar salad

places serve their salads at $5.50 per lb.
