Abstract

This paper aims at analysing the case of “Lentil as Anything”, that is a very interesting combination of creativity and charity in the field of hospitality enterprises. It represents the implementation of a new typology of restoration in which guests can eat and then they will pay as they “feel”. The research case is a charity (social enterprise) and it is an example of civil enterprise with some stimulating implications about accounting and accountability tools.
