Charity

Once you come to understand social enterprise has to do business, it goes without saying that it has to face competition - including that from all for-profit corporations.

For example, a restaurant could be a social enterprise, with the primary goal of providing job opportunity to disabled people or discharged prisoners rather than making money. Nonetheless, the employees still have to work hard. If anyone just muddle along with their duty, disability or social disadvantage is no excuse - they should be fired and the job could be given to an equally disabled but more enthusiastic worker.

And, for the same argument, this very restaurant should provide good food and service to attract customers - whether it is a social enterprise or not is irrelevant. Since we are talking about equal opportunity, any disabled worker or social enterprise should have an equal opportunity to be fired or bankrupt if their performance is not up to the standard. It is not acceptable for the owner to declare the food is no good but the customers have to bear with it because the restaurant hires a disabled cook - unless we are talking about a charity organisation instead.
