Restaurant Outreach

CAA's restaurant outreach campaign seeks to facilitate this trend by working with restaurants to expand their animal-free options, improve labels for existing options, and alter current options (by "veganizing" them, or adding meat/dairy/egg alternatives).

The campaign has several benefits such as making dining more convenient for vegetarians as well as making veg options more visible to the general public and those interested in going veg. This campaign also works with other food service-related industries like convenient stores, vending machine companies, and caterers.
