Full-Service Restaurants in South Africa
March 2022
2021 DEVELOPMENTS
Full-service restaurants struggle to recover
The recovery of full-service restaurants continued to be challenged by persistent lockdown regulations, with new waves of infections prompting the reinstatement of temporary eat-in restrictions, a ban on sales of alcoholic drinks, limited capacity, and stringent curfews. For instance, operators started the year with a provisional ban on alcoholic drinks and 50% capacity restrictions.
Operators’ incentives through click-and-collect services
With local consumers exhibiting an ongoing fear of exposure to the virus, full-service restaurants reinvented their business models to survive. As a result, since the beginning of the pandemic, operators have been forming strategic partnerships with on-demand delivery services such as Mr D and Uber Eats to reach their target audience.
Spur Corp consolidates leadership
Spur remained the largest full-service restaurant chain in South Africa, despite facing challenging operating conditions. The company benefited from its diversified offering that targets mid- and high-income consumers.
PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Recovery driven by improving socioeconomic conditions
The recovery of full-service restaurants will be supported by improvements in economic conditions, as South Africa has developed strategies to boost employment rates alongside disposable incomes. A stronger performance across the channel will also benefit from improved safety protocols, with an increasing number of full-service restaurants supporting vaccination drives to avoid lockdown restrictions during waves of infections.
Competition will intensify as new entrants emerge
The forecast period will see the expansion of full-service restaurants as the situation stabilises and businesses in the tourism industry continue to diversify their offerings. The City Lodge Group announced plans to roll out full-service restaurants that offer lunch and dinners across 36 Town and Road Lodges.
Diversification will continue to transform businesses
The momentum gained by digitalisation in full-service restaurants will persist during the forecast period, as players maintain a flexible operating approach in the aftermath of the pandemic. The trend will be supported by intensified investment technology to meet evolving consumer behaviour.
