Our Charter

USERS

End users of the EAT LIKE AN ELEPHANT© App can freely download and use the App to look for an EAT LIKE AN ELEPHANT© Partner Restaurant around them. Partner Restaurants agree to propose their clients a meal based on approved EAT LIKE AN ELEPHANT© Ingredients List. Such meals are strictly vegan. Ingredients used in EAT LIKE AN ELEPHANT© meals are edible vegetables, plants and fruits consumed by both humans and Asian elephants. While enjoying a healthy vegan meal at an EAT LIKE AN ELEPHANT© Partner Restaurant, clients using the EAT LIKE AN ELEPHANT© App can scan the QR code on the brochure displayed on their table and decide whether or not they want to make a small donation to support in-situ Asian elephant conservation. All funds collected via the EAT LIKE AN ELEPHANT© App are sent to the Elephant Conservation Center of Laos© to support their Asian elephant rewilding project.

PARTNERS

Partner restaurants hereby agree to the EAT LIKE AN ELEPHANT© Charter. The EAT LIKE AN ELEPHANT© Charter describes the process of becoming an EAT LIKE AN ELEPHANT© Partner Restaurant. Each Partner Restaurant accepts to produce one or more VEGAN meals including a majority of ingredients provided by EAT LIKE AN ELEPHANT©. These ingredients are edible vegetables, plants and fruits consumed by both humans and Asian elephants. These ingredients are used to create a vegan meal that will be branded as an EAT LIKE AN ELEPHANT© meal by Partner Restaurants.
The meal is then commercialized and promoted at the Partner Restaurant using the EAT LIKE AN ELEPHANT© Promotional Kit.
Producing an EAT LIKE AN ELEPHANT© meal doesn’t require any payment or subscription from EAT LIKE AN ELEPHANT© Partner Restaurants. The only formal requirement lies in the use of provided EAT LIKE AN ELEPHANT© Promotional Kit consisting of a sticker to be affixed on the Partner Restaurant’s main entry door, on the one hand. On the other hand, a foldable table brochure must be set on the Partner Restaurant’s table used by the client ordering an EAT LIKE AN ELEPHANT© meal. This brochure consists in a short description of the EAT LIKE AN ELEPHANT© Concept, the logo of the Partner Restaurant, the name and description of the meal and a QR code clients can scan to make a donation (‘tip an elephant a banana’) to the EAT LIKE AN ELEPHANT© project.
