What is Restaurant Day?

Restaurant Day is a worldwide food carnival where

anyone can set up a restaurant, café or a bar (non-

alcoholic) for a day. It can happen anywhere: at

your home, at the office, on a street corner, in your

garden or inner courtyard, at a park, or on the

beach – only your imagination is the limit.

History of the Restaurant Day

The first Restaurant

Day in Finland was in

2011. Nowadays it is

the biggest food

festival in the world

and it is held four

times a year.

Hundreds of cities

take part in the

Restaurant Day all

around the world.

At February there were six other restaurants in Järvenpää, our hometown. Worldwide there were 1375 restaurants in 34 countries.

How did we advertise our restaurant ?

neighbourhood

Advertisement of our restaurant

school Koivusaaren koulu• Instagram, personal profiles• Helmi = website information channel

between school and home

How was the day ?• We started the day by preparing waffles and fillings

for them. • We are cooked waffles after every order (and when

we ourselves got hungry). This way every customer got a warm and fresh waffle.

• At the end of the day we cleaned up the kitchens.

A student in the restaurant : It was nice to make waffles with friends (laughing, eating and talking).

Customer: Waffles and filling tasted

delicious. It was a nice idea to sell

waffles like take away by selling them

out of a window.

Profit: about

180€

Finally orders started to flow in!

Why our waffles were healthy?Our waffles were healthier than normal ones because we used rye flour. We didn't use a lot of sugar and butter was replaced with rapeseed oil.

The yoghurt foam was healthier because we replaced some of the cream with natural yoghurt and again we didn't use so much sugar.

We also added fresh strawberries to the jam in order to make it less sugary.
