Introduction
• The restaurant, catering, and fast food industry showed resilience in 2022, but not all establishments have recovered to pre-pandemic levels. \r\n
• The recovery has been severely limited by power cuts, and water cuts in some areas, which have put many operators, particularly independent businesses, at risk of closure. \r\n
• Larger companies and fast food chains have fared better than independent operators. \r\n
• Declining disposable income resulted in lower weekday footfall for hospitality and dining businesses. \r\n
• The Franchise Association called for urgent action from the government.
Strengths
• Franchises have an extensive geographical footprint.
• South Africa is a developed market.
• The industry is well established, and strong international and local franchise brand provide effective support.
Weaknesses
• High operating costs.
• High staff turnover.
• Low paying.
• Poor economic conditions.
• Quality control is inadequate, particularly in the informal sector.
• Startup capital is often difficult to access.
Opportunities
• Development of innovative, indigenous, and healthy menu options.
• Expansion into the rest of Africa, the Middle East, and other international markets.
• Expansion into untapped local markets such as townships and rural communities.
• Ghost kitchens in densely populated urban areas and CBDs.
• Growth in the informal/township sector.
• Sustainably sourced, organic, and plant-based menu items.
• The development of affordable food franchising models.
Threats
• Above-inflation increases in food and living costs.
• Escalation of loadshedding.
• Increasing levels of unemployment impacting disposable income and consumer spending.
• Supply chain disruptions.
Outlook
• Rising interest rates, unemployment, and high food and fuel prices led to a rampant increase in the cost of living in 2022. \r\n
• Restaurants did better than expected in these circumstances but growth started to slow in the latter part of 2022. \r\n
• Power cuts are expected to continue to affect trading and increase operational costs in the industry. \r\n
• While the franchise segment is expected to fare better than independents due to economies of scale, managing food costs and developing value for money products will remain a focus in menu development for all players.
