Project Description – Gives a Fork: Next Level

We built Gives a Fork from nothing — no investors, no capital, just passion, love, and a dash of chaos. Over the years, we’ve grown into your favorite neighborhood hangout — the place where brunch turns into storytelling, cocktails turn into connection, and everyone feels at home.

Now it’s time for our next chapter — the Gives a Fork glow-up.

We’re transforming the restaurant into a more immersive escape, inspired by Asian outdoor hawker markets — colorful, vibrant, and full of life. We want Gives a Fork to feel like you’ve stepped into another world: the scents, the sounds, the chaos — all curated, all intentional.

Your support will help us:

  • Redesign our space into an Asian-inspired open hawker concept
  • Upgrade the bar and kitchen equipment for smoother, faster service
  • Invest in music and sound gear so we can host more live events, DJs, and creative nights
  • Create an immersive environment where food, art, and community collide

Every franc goes directly into this transformation — the version of Gives a Fork that’s bigger, bolder, and even more you.

We’ve built this place with love; now we’re building it with vision. Join us in bringing the next level to life.

Why This Project Matters to Geneva

Because Geneva deserves more than quiet cafés and polished fine dining.

Gives a Fork was built to break the mold — a place where people connect over food, music, laughter, and a little chaos. We’ve created a space that feels alive: inclusive, expressive, and unapologetically real.

This project isn’t just about upgrading a restaurant — it’s about keeping independent creativity alive in a city where small businesses rarely get the chance to grow without investors or big capital.

By supporting us, you’re helping to:

  • Keep authentic, community-driven spaces thriving in Geneva
  • Give local artists, musicians, and performers a home for events
  • Bring Asian street-market flavor and atmosphere to the city
  • Create a cultural meeting point — a place where locals, expats, and travelers actually connect

We’re not just serving food — we’re building a Geneva that feels more creative, colorful, and human.

We need forking help for . . .

Gives a Fork has always run on creativity, not capital — but now we’ve outgrown our tools. Our kitchen and bar equipment are over ten years old, and constant breakdowns slow everything down. We still wash every glass by hand because our bar doesn’t even have a working dishwasher.

Your support will help us finally invest in the essentials: new fridges, an efficient dishwashing setup, and a faster, better-organized kitchen. These upgrades will let our small team work smarter, serve faster, and focus on what we do best — creating food and moments that make people feel something.

This isn’t about changing who we are. It’s about giving Gives a Fork the foundation it needs to keep growing, hosting, and bringing energy to Geneva — for years to come.
