Pay-what-you-want food truck sees huge rise in business

From Checkpoint, 5:49 pm on 4 October 2023

A Dunedin vegetarian eatery that lets people pay what they can afford for a feed has tripled the number of meals its making each night.

The Bowling club started as a food truck but moved into premises in Caversham last year.

The thing that's different about this eatery; a main costs just four bucks if you bring your own container, five if you don't.

But if that's still a budget buster, customers pay what they can afford, or nothing at all.

The Dunedin Bowling Club co-owner Jackie Bannon speaks to Lisa Owen.
