Plant Power Fast Food, a social venture company, announced the opening of its plant-based quick serve restaurant in Ocean Beach, California. The restaurant offers a completely plant-based menu, joining the growing business of plant-based quick service restaurants in the United States, including Veggie Grill and Native Foods, according to a company press release.

"We're part of what we truly believe is the future of fast food — our company was created with the aim of meeting the need of busy people on the move who seek fresh plant based food in a quick service, drive through format," said Zach Vouga, co-founder and vice president of operations of Plant Power Fast Food.

Motivated by various concerns ranging from personal health, the environment, and animal welfare, an expanding number of consumers have chosen to reduce the amount of meat and dairy in their diet, the release stated.

The restaurant features indoor and outdoor patio dining plus four drive-up "Sonic" style parking spots. Here, customers can use touchscreen kiosks to order and pay for their food,  which is then delivered to their car.

The menu includes typical fast food offerings, but with a healthy twist, including: burgers, sandwiches, wraps, fries, salads, desserts and a kid's menu. Entrees range in price from $6.25 to $9.95.

Plant Power Fast Food is located at 2204 Sunset Cliffs Blvd., in Ocean Beach at the intersection of Sunset Cliffs Blvd and Voltaire St. A second location is planned to open in Encinitas in late 2016.
