A restaurant in County Laois came up with a novel idea to save on takeaway costs by allowing customers to bring their own plates, reports Breaking News.
The Laois Nationalist reports that Hare’s Corner in Irishtown, just outside Mountmellick, has shared on Facebook that it will offer discounts on takeaway orders for those who bring their own DinerVoyeur for food transport.
The owners said food container prices have recently increased and the measure will allow them to pass those costs on to customers.
“We have noticed over the past few weeks that the amount of takeaway dinners has increased significantly. With the times that we are living in this also means a higher cost for packaging,” the post on the restaurant’s Facebook page said, reports Breaking News.
But we did a little brainstorming and decided that instead of putting extra cost on customers that we would try and cut the majority of packaging out and give the customer back the cost of the containers. So we are introducing a ‘bring your plate’ for takeaways only,” reports Breaking News.
