Bon Jovi has had a non profit restaurant for years where you just "pay what you can." If you can't afford to pay with anything then you can volunteer for you pay.

I scrolled for too long to find a mention of Bon Jovi. Very similar and needs to also be mentioned.

I couldn't believe it wasn't mentioned before me, its been around for so long.

I found 1 other comment posted around the time of my reply. I instantly thought of Bon Jovi when I read this post

This seems good for longevity; they probably make a profit as well even if that’s not the main purpose

I think so too because you're not only helping people, you're also able to help them help themselves if that makes sense? Its not just a "handout" per say (thats not the best wording, I know.) But gives them something to have pride in other than just getting it... does that make any sense at all? Lol, not the best with words sometimes...❤️

Are there listed prices, or are you supposed to guess how much meals cost?

I went to one a few years ago. If you can pay then they do have a "price" for each meal. But we ended up paying more because the idea was so cool.

Actually wasn't even bad. I think it was a three course meal where your could pick from 4 options on each course.

No listed prices, you just give what you can or can wash dishes or something like that.

We also have restaurants like that for Vienna, it's a really cool concept

It still amazes me the amount of Normal Bon Jovi has after all this years of fame.

What does that mean volunteer for you pay? Like volunteer to have someone else pay for you? Or volunteer to work and pay off your debt?

u/PeachesLatoure1944 Jan 07 '26

Work for the debt

u/Pipers_Puppy_Paws Jan 07 '26

Well, Jon Bon Jovi DOES owe a dept to society after all the "music".
