The Gourmet Giving Franchise helps any size business support their favorite charity without costing that business any money. The Franchisee sets up a Robotic Barista™ at the business (called a Host) without any cost or obligation.
Once in place, the Robotic Barista produces the finest full 10 oz. freshly ground gourmet coffee beverages available anywhere. These gourmet beverages are then purchased by people involved with the Host location. These people could be employees, customers, visitors, clients, staff, etc.
The beverages typically sell for $2.00 which is usually less than half of what they would sell for at a retail coffee house. These sales generate Cash revenues which are managed by the Franchisee. The Franchisee then donates a full 20% of the gross revenue to the charity chosen by the Host. The donations are made monthly. The Franchisee puts the Host’s name on the check and includes a letter to the charity explaining that the donation was made possible by the Host Location. The charity then recognizes the Host, who in turn gets the emotional satisfaction of supporting their favorite charity. And again, all of this is accomplished at no expense to the Host.
The document describes a business called Gourmet Giving that places automated coffee kiosks called "robotic baristas" in host locations like businesses and charities. The kiosks provide high-quality coffee and espresso drinks for a low price, and 20% of sales are donated to the host location's charity of choice. The business model allows host locations to support local charities without paying any fees. Over 100 drinks sold per week per kiosk could result in $2,000 in annual donations to the host charity. Gourmet Giving handles setup, supplies, and maintenance so the kiosks require no work from the host location.

This document discusses the importance of being aware that gestures can have different meanings in different cultures. Three examples are provided:
1) Smiling in Japan may indicate anger or confusion rather than friendliness. Public displays of affection like hugging or kissing are also unacceptable.
2) A clenched fist against an open palm in China is a polite greeting gesture, not a sign of anger.
3) Showing the soles of your shoes in Thailand is seen as insulting.
The key message is that harmless gestures at home could be interpreted as insults abroad, so travelers should learn about appropriate body language in other countries.
