a restaurant with the hearty delicious menu friendly service and exceptional prices. where everyone is welcomed, treated like family and when it comes time for the check, you pay what you want and what you can. we grab a bite at an eatery worth our wait in santa rosa, california. >> we open saturday and sundays. we serve brunch. kids show up at 6 o'clock in the morning. amber, you are up front. 85% of the year the sun is not up. they are in the dark getting ready. everything that this takes to open up at 9 o'clock. there's no prices on the menu, it's donation day. we do a check and it says donation based and we appreciate serve.

>> put whatever you feel is necessary in the envelope, seal it up, write a comment and stick it in the box over there. >> if you think about it, restaurants can be a system. if you don't have enough money to eat at a restaurant, you don't walk in. in community cafes everyone is welcome regardfuls their means. >> enjoy it. >> my name is denise soretta i'm the founder of one world everybody eats nonprofit and i started the pay what you can community cafe in salt lake city utah in 2003. people got it right off. a lot of people paid for their meal, others would pay for their meal and pay more. others paid a little less. >> i've worked at worth our weight for two years. sometimes people leave small

donations even no, and there are people that come here and get tonnes of money because they love us. >> i think a lot of people that come to a cafe and overpay, they want to do something special for the community. they want to pay it forward. a couple contacted me one day and wanted to replicate that they called same cafe in denver. others wanted to replicate the concept. there are 35 cafes and what we call our family that are doing the pay what you can concept. there are a number of seniors on fixed incomes, and they come - a lot of people on fixed incomes can't afford to pay to eat out, but they love the food. if we make it a donation based we don't lose anything. >> most are drawn in a population that you would think don't need help.

it's the middle class, the single parent, the student. when we talk about food insecurity it doesn't mean someone is on the street. it means maybe they have a $2 lunch budget instead of $15. there's ups and downs. there's little money, sometimes there's no money. sometimes we feel taken advantage of. >> some of the community cafes have failed. normally it's not enough community involvement, starting on a whim. most of the community cafes that are successful have the right ingredients, good food, service and have a passionate visionary and gather a team around them that care about the concept. >> i run a program called worth our weight. it's a culinary program for teens at rick. the purpose is to teach them

environment. >> those look agreement. i'm glad we have so much chocolate. the kids do everything here. they are trained to greet people, cook on the line, and do all the back-ups. they wash the dishes, put them away. slice the fruit, serve the tables. they do everything. the kids that come to the program come from all sorts of backgrounds. we look for kids aging out of foster care, kids on probation or had been on probation. for the last five years we had about 100 kids coming through the program. the kids that graduate, we guarantee them a job in the industry. i think donation-based restaurants are a beautiful thing. a lot of the food world is elitist and precious, and when

you get down to it. it's food. it's just food. i like it. i like it for us especially because we are part of a neighbourhood, a community, and it works out in that way. out. >> that is a great taste. that is it for us here on "america tonight", if you would like to comment on any stories, log on to the website. there you can meet our team. getpreviews of other stories and tell us what you'd like to see in our nightly current affairs program. join the conversation at twitter or facebook. goodnight. thanks for being with us. we'll have more of "america tonight" tomorrow.
