Operation
The cafe serves food according to a "no-menu, no prices" model. A pay-what-you-want model is used.
If they cannot afford to pay, customers can volunteer at the cafe, doing dishes, cooking, or working in the garden, and they will receive meal vouchers for the work they perform. Patrons can also pay for a meal by donating supplies or organically grown produce to the Cafe. A wish list is maintained in the Cafe for those interested in donating specific supplies.
One World turns no-one away for inability to pay. All patrons are asked to give fairly in exchange for their meal, but ultimately relies on a gift economy and freely feeds all who come in.

Famous quotes containing the word operation:
“You may read any quantity of books, and you may almost as ignorant as you were at starting, if you don’t have, at the back of your minds, the change for words in definite images which can only be acquired through the operation of your observing faculties on the phenomena of nature.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“Human knowledge and human power meet in one; for where the cause is not known the effect cannot be produced. Nature to be commanded must be obeyed; and that which in contemplation is as the cause is in operation as the rule.”
—Francis Bacon (1560–1626)
