NJ nonprofit restaurant in Orange shows social entrepreneurship trend
The interior of Hat City Kitchen stands out to patrons because of the tin siding and local mosaic artwork donning the walls. The menu provides customers with comfort and soul food, stemming from executive chef’s Patrick Pierre-Jerome’s expertise — a level of cuisine hard to find in the Valley neighborhood of Orange.
But it’s the business model of Hat City Kitchen that makes it truly distinctive. The restaurant exemplifies the new “fad” of social entrepreneurship for not-for-profits, using its revenue to improve the community around it, aiding the Valley’s hopeful resurgence into an arts district.
Every dollar Hat City Kitchen makes will help fund art shows, music festivals or beautification of the Valley. But social entrepreneurship experts say that while commendable, Hat City’s mission is a dangerous financial venture.
