Mera Kitchen Collective

This allows for each of us to only strengthen culinary expertise and have a voice in the operations. We hope to use the cooperative model as a successful tool for wealth generation and fostering empowerment. We find that people often assume that Mera Kitchen Collective is a non-profit, and were often correcting them.* We explain that our goal is, and has always been, to build a thriving for-profit worker-cooperative, where the members have a share in the ownership and profits of the business. In that respect, we want to make sure we are very clear on a few things about the ownership of Mera. When we started, we hoped and assumed it would be very easy to have multiple owners. We quickly learned otherwise.
