Dāna
“Every time you spend money, you’re casting a vote for the kind of world you want.”
dāna // (sanskrit) the practice of cultivating generosity
As equally as we are passionate about hospitality, we believe that this industry is an incredible platform to push a little more and do a little good.
Our practices: Over a rotational period we will be partnering with a local or global charity/not-for-profit organisation and donating a percentage of our profits directly to this cause. Every customer who dines with us will have the opportunity to match our small donation or provide a custom donation. No pressure - no questions asked - simply by dining at Dāna you are allowing us to donate on your behalf to a group that needs our help - and we think that’s pretty damn great.
Our ethos: Eat good, drink good, do good.
Together we have raised:
