Good luck with that Sards, I'll try and swing by next time I'm in town.

Cape Town must be a tough market to crack for restaurants, you are really spoiled for choice.

I know (through a friend of a friend) the guys who opened up the Melkbos Kitchen, and they've been raking it in since day 1. Simple menu and good coffee.

Restaurants are struggling. Take aways are flourishing.

We made the right choice.

Are you available end October...we were going to book at De Mond but might give your place a go.....only if we can run around kaalgat and there is a firepit for late evening drinking sessions....We are celebrating 3 birthdays in one....7 including kids.

If your food is as good as you think, people will install the app and use it saving you > 10% on each order. Mr D (and Uber Eats) will fuck you until the cows come home. Uber will actually forbid you from using any other food delivery service in their contract but they don't/can't enforce it.

Just to add, we have Uber/Mr D and Order In etc in all of our stores. Our app outsells Mr D in most.

Like I said you have an existing client base...we are a start up and still need to establish a client base...

the advertising you get from Mr. D is worth every cent....more people follow Mr. D than an app for El Forno...

If we succeed and make it in the big league of all the regular take outs...And expand into other malls.....maybe then

An existing walk in and on Mr D/Uber Eats client base yes. We did 400 orders on our first month November 2018. Now we sometimes do just under a 1000 per day.

I'm not suggesting you go out and spend a fortune developing an app. I'm merely pointing out the pitfalls of Mr D. The one advantage of Mr D etc is that they have their own delivery bikes. But guys like http://www.mobilemacs.co.za/ rent fully serviced bikes at around R100 a day.

I'm heavily involved in this game. Fast food takes no prisoners and the restaurant trade is tough. Good luck.

We are learning every day...we were going to do our own deliveries ( a bike is 6k which is nothing ) but the hassle of the staff ( another 3 at least ) turned us off . Thankfully I have another income so we can subsidise the shop for awhile......

How close are your neighbours....at De Mond we would be the only cabin in the reserve so can carry on as we like.....Which is the biggest attraction....you can have music blaring and walk around kaal gat without any worries. Got a river and a sea to swim in and warm water....lots of hiking trails....amazing estuary , fly and rock and surf fishing...Can suck on a doobie and nobody cares because there is noone

You didn't read it properly....7 including kids....3 kids.
We do it every year...its a tradition....the kids are over getting embarrassed by their parents.

They have so much fun at that place that its all worth it....My boys have been practicing throwing fly's so are ready to take fishing to another level...a couple more years and my eldest and his buddy will be drinking with us....

Learning to fly-fish at a young age is great. Hope you catch lots.

This morning was one of those where it was a difficult decision regarding getting out of bed ..... day of rain .....thankfully not as cold as Monday.

As you get older these decisions become a lot harder to make.

I have enough space but dont want skollies. I had a few, a coloured woman nearly burned my one place down, left a pot of cooking oil on the stove and passed out. I nearly killed her. Decided there and then I dont want etter at my place. You can play weg kruipertjie kaalgat met jou laaities and suck whatever at the mond.
