14.1 Job Creation

The flagship restaurant will create 22 direct full-time jobs and an estimated 8–12 indirect jobs through the local supply chain (bakeries, farms, logistics). At full multi-unit scale (20 units by Year 7), the projected employment impact is approximately 440 direct jobs and 200+ indirect jobs, making a meaningful contribution to South Africa’s unemployment challenge, particularly among the youth demographic.

14.2 Environmental Sustainability

Packaging: 100% of takeaway packaging will be
biodegradable or compostable within 24 months of launch. Partnership
with BioPak South Africa for sustainable packaging solutions.
Food Waste: Implementation of a food waste reduction
programme targeting less than 5% waste-to-food ratio through precise
demand forecasting, portion control, and partnerships with food rescue
organisations.
Energy: Installation of LED lighting throughout,
energy-efficient kitchen equipment, and exploration of rooftop solar PV
for Year 2 to reduce grid dependency and load-shedding impact.
