We're committed to incorporating eco-friendly practices into everything we do.

From our rain collection and our use of recycled material in our buildings, our cooking oil to biofuel program, our save a penny program, down to our compostable packaging--and everything in between--we're constantly looking for the most eco-efficient ways of operating.

A partial list of our green initiatives includes:

PACKAGING AND OPERATIONS:

• Serving our food in containers made from natural, compostable material;
• Using eating utensils made from corn-based compostable material;
• Using 100% post consumer paper products in our restrooms;
• Using only eco-friendly cleaning products;
• Converting our used cooking oil into usable bio-fuel;
• Eliminating the use of pennies in all of our transactions (Guadalupe Street location only)
  

BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION: Depending on the specific finish out requirements of a given store, we also employ the following initiatives where applicable:

Exteriors:

• Collecting rainwater to water our plants;
• Using native plant materials that require less watering;
• Utilizing eco-efficient stucco;
• Using low emissivity coatings on storefronts;
• Recycling jobsite waste;

Interiors:

• Using the most energy efficient light bulbs for lighting;
• Installing counter tops made from recycled material;
