Get fresh pies and sausage rolls into bars and pubs who don't have kitchens, and don't have the staff to prepare food.
I want to create a partnership between pub/bar owners within Auckland CBD (starting with Karangahape Road "K'Rd") and pie and sausage roll manufacturers.
I've heard from bar owners themselves that the regulatory hoops that they have to jump through are very prohibitive, and they don't have the manpower to do it. So we want help to safely navigate local board regulations and food regulations.
We can be very specific about the product being served, how it's been stored and served, and who's making it.
The food manufacturer themselves has the relevant grade rating and all the checks have been done on the food there. Reportedly, there are checks then repeated at every single pub. We want to reduce the burden of unnecessary paperwork on the bar staff so they can focus on keeping their patrons safe.
This is through the lens public health because if we can get people who are drinking to also reach for a warm pie or sausage roll, there is a chance to reduce harm. (We will also want to partner with organisations like Cheers NZ https://www.cheers.org.nz, Alcohol.org.nz because the gola is about responsible drinking and being a responsible host).
An argument to this goal might be, "People can buy food somewhere just down the road". But there's a flaw in that, because if you're with a crew, friends, or family, it may not be the safest option to leave the bar alone or break up the crew - so they don't eat at all. The option of having ready-to-eat hot food at the bar is the gap we're filling. We need help with figuring out what would be the best way to navigate the regulations and create a strict plan and food safety plan, where things like the food is fresh every day. At the end of the night, it either gets given to the staff to eat as a bonus, a gift, or thrown away. And each day is started afresh.
