Carrotmob at HOTLIPS succeeds admirably!

If you missed out on Carrotmob at HOTLIPS Pizza yesterday, here’s a brief overview:

WE MADE $6316, AND ALL OF IT IS GOING TO MAKE THE STORE MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT!

Consider that on an average Sunday, they make about $2000-2500. Sundays are normally slow, and most of the business comes in the evening. At 3 or 4 in the afternoon, the employees were saying that they had about four times the business they ordinarily have by that time.

This is what HOTLIPS will try to do with the money:
Install a new gasket for the door to the commissary
Seal the envelope between the commissary and the prep kitchen
Install an additional copper loop in the front oven at the Hawthorne location
Install a copper loop for the 33rd and Killingsworth location
Install motion sensors for lights
Install variable speed controls for exhaust and ventilation system

More coming soon…

  2. How are you going to make sure Hotlips actually uses all the money they made to reduce their carbon footprint?
    it says “This is what HOTLIPS will try to do with the money…”
    anytime i hear “i’m gonna try” it usually means, it won’t happen.
    just saying…it was a sweet deal for hotlips to get all the bands to play for Hotlips’ cause and all the volunteers giving their day to Hotlips’ cause.

  3. @lolly:

    The reason it says “try” is because they don’t know how much money it will cost. The estimate for all of those projects is more than they made, but they will do as many of them as they can. So, you’re right, it definitely won’t all happen, but if you know Dave and Jeana, the owners of HOTLIPS, you know that they will do whatever they can.

  4. Good work, folks!

    Just curious: What is a “copper loop” as mentioned for the ovens?
