Zambrero bags 2015 Enterprise of the Year Award
The quick service Mexican chain took out The Australian Business Awards’ Enterprise of the Year award.
“We are over the moon to be recognised for being a hugely successful, forward thinking and sustainable business while at the same time being able to make a big difference providing food to those in need through our humanitarian program Plate 4 Plate,” Zambrero general manager Karim Messih said.
The award was given for Zambrero’s charity initiative Plate 4 Plate that results in one disadvantaged person around the world receiving a meal for every burrito or bowl sold at any of Zambrero’s close to 80 restaurants across Australia.
“Our distribution partners Stop Hunger Now share our passion, and help mobilise the necessary resources to the world’s most vulnerable people. We’d like to think that one day neither of our organisations will exist. That would be the day we know no one is going hungry. Until that day comes, we are here to help with Zambrero,” Messih said.
“We were the first to introduce this ‘one for one’ concept to the quick service restaurant industry and it has helped millions from the moment we opened in 2005. Our initiative will continue to expand as we grow Zambrero both here in Australia and overseas. We hope that one day this becomes the standard throughout the restaurant and QSR sector.”
