  Beschreibung

  Hi! Sabaidee!
  
  We are a vegan and vegetarian restaurant and social enterprise, raising funds to help cats in Laos. We are looking for nice, kind and independent people to help us with a few different things. Keywords: photography, social media, graphic design, Tiktok, menu development.
  
  *Before you continue reading, please note that we are NOT a traditional cat cafe with a room full of cats. Our cats are just our own cats who are free to come and go as they please, the cafe is their home and we live there as well. We raise funds for cats in need and donate money to the animal shelter to help them with care, medical bills and spay/neuter/vaccinations etc.
  
  Please do NOT message us:
  -if you don't have a specific skill listed below in the help section
  -if the calendar is marked red, it means no availability
  -if you're allergic to cats and dogs
  -outside of Workaway
  
  We are an ethical business and we believe that no cat should have to suffer, and that take-away drinks should not be served in plastic. We are here to do good - for cats, people and our planet. This means we serve healthy and delicious food & drinks, use biodegradable take-away packaging and raise funds to help cats in need.
  
  We're located right in the center of beautiful Luangprabang in northern Laos. Luangprabang is a UNESCO world heritage town and so it is a wonderful place if you're looking for a break from travelling, or if you want to use it as a hub for activities. For example, the Kuang Si Waterfalls are about 30km from here. There are ethical elephant tours, pottery classes, hiking opportunities, kayaking, swimming, yoga, etc etc, plenty of choice whether you're looking for active stuff, or want to take it easy.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  To start, living in a house will give you a different perspective of the town and the country in general than when you stay in tourist accommodation. Wake up early and you can see countless monks from the many temples around here go past quietly to collect alms, just outside our door. You might find your favourite local restaurant and practise your Lao language with the locals, or visit the temple and have a chat with the monks to learn about their lives whilst they practise their English skills with you. Plenty of opportunities to add a different dimension to your trip. And of course we are always available for advice on where to go and what to do!

  During the months of April to October we are looking for:
  
  1. High quality photos/social media: We are looking for someone who could come with a good camera/phone to take nice picturesm videos and reels of our food & drinks for our marketing, menu and social media channels. (max 4 hours a day).
  
  2. Graphic/website design: we try our best with Canva, but to have someone help us develop education materials, infographics, menus, brochures etc etc would be fantastic. We can discuss what is needed. You'll have to have your own computer. (4 hours a day).
  
  3. Branding/marketing expert: we have big ambitions to grow and despite having a grasp of the importance of branding and marketing strategies etc, we would love to find someone who would be willing to sit around the table and help us make the restaurant ready to reach even more people!
  
  4. Mixologist/experienced bartender: we would love to put a small cocktail menu in place. If you are an experienced bartender who could help us to develop a menu with some decent basics and maybe some special cocktails and mocktails, and then also train our team on how to make them, please do reach out, we need you!
  
  1, 2 , 3 & 4 all involve some level of cat sitting. You will be living above the restaurant and our 3 resident cats love cuddles and attention.
  
  Please note, we are not asking for help in the restaurant itself. As a workawayer you will sleep above the restaurant and you are welcome to spend as much time as you like, but we will not ask you to cook or serve food and drinks to our customers. We believe in fair pay for our staff and we will not replace paid local jobs with volunteers. However, we do love to meet people, share stories and learn from each other's experiences, so we hope we can offer a fair exchange of accommodation, food and coffee of course!

  Unterkunft

  We offer a bedroom with double bed, en-suite bathroom, a fan (and optional aircon for a small fee).
  
  We offer a place to stay and two meals a day, which you can order from the menu, or make yourself from the ingredients in our kitchen. There are also plenty of (cheap) food options nearby if you want to buy your own food, as we are in the middle of town.

  Was noch ...

  We believe in kindness for all — humans, animals, and the planet. Our space is safe and welcoming to LGBTQ+ communities.
  
  In Laos, good hygiene is expected. Please make sure to shower regularly, use deodorant if you need it, and wear shoes when outside (it's super rude to walk into a Lao house with dirty feet). You'll be sharing our house and we don't want to smell your armpits — nor do we want our customers to smell them when they're eating.
  
  We have a mainly vegan menu, but we are not militant activists about this. We just love offering good, wholesome and healthy food to people! In a Least Developed country like Laos, the relationship with food is very different than for example Western countries. We respectfully want to make it clear that we are not looking for angry, judgy people trying to make the whole world vegan. We are a very nice and open-minded team and so that attitude is also what we hope to find in our workawayers.

  Kann Digital Nomads unterbringen

  Our wifi is decent, it is ok for streaming, Netflix and youtube etc. Others have lived and worked here before who worked online, such as teacher, coach and software-developer. The bedroom has a desk and is quiet, so it can easily be used as an office space. The cafe itself gets customers who come and work here so that would also be an option. Other than that, we can direct you to other amazing places to work, from cafes with river view, to soft sofas in airconditioned bakeries.
