Wave Tank
In addition to launching
a new charitable
arm called Taocaya
Life Foundation,
fast-casual restaurant
Tocaya Organica will
introduce its Wave
Tank initiative this
month. The initiative
is part of the company’s
mission to
align with nonprofit
organizations with a
focus on the environment
and bettering
the planet. Similar to
the concept of Shark
Tank, Wave Tank will
invite three nonprofits
each quarter to
pitch a panel comprised
of the company’s
executives on
why Tocaya Organica
should partner with
their company. The
first-place winner of
Wave Tank will be
named as the restaurant’s
official partner
for the upcoming
quarter, during which
the two companies
will work together to
create new dishes
for Tocaya Organica
or select an existing
menu item, with a
portion of its proceeds
to be donated
directly to the charity.
Tocaya Organica
will also help the
nonprofit grow from
co-branding efforts,
in-store features, and
marketing content.
Nonprofits who
place in second and
third place will also
receive a monetary
donation. www.
