3 reasons why supporting local restaurants matter

Local businesses are integral to a healthy economy. Supporting local businesses means developing a community bond, supporting greener initiatives, and keeping money within a local economy.?

Here at The One Demand Company, we pride ourselves on helping local businesses find ways to maximize their profits and expand their reach through virtual kitchens and online delivery platforms. We’re a big believer in #supportinglocal and here are 3 reasons why you should too!

1. Supporting local helps businesses support other local businesses and so on and so forth. For every $100 spend at a local business $68 remains in the community which means everyone benefits?
2. Local businesses have a smaller carbon footprint than larger businesses, meaning you’re doing your part for the environment by shopping locally
3. You can trace their supply chain and where they source their products. This is especially important for ethically and sustainably sourced products and produce at restaurants
