Our story
It started with a shared love of very good food
Yummy Spit & Grill was officially established on 29 July 2026 in Stellenbosch, South Africa.
Yummy Spit & Grill is the brainchild and collaboration of long-time best friends Gustav and Debbie, who share a genuine love for sensational food, bold flavours and creating memorable food experiences.
The idea behind Yummy Spit & Grill was born from their shared passion for good food and their belief that traditional South African flavours can be presented in exciting, modern and affordable ways.
At the heart of the business is our love for spitbraai, combined with the creativity of gourmet street food. Our goal is to create food that is delicious, accessible and exciting while building a brand that customers can enjoy at an outlet, food truck, event or catering function.

Our mission
Sensational food, sustainable opportunity
Our mission is to serve sensational food at accessible prices while creating a sustainable business that provides opportunities for people within our communities.
We believe that a successful food business can do more than generate revenue. It can create jobs, develop skills, provide career pathways and contribute towards the economic wellbeing of families.
We want Yummy Spit & Grill to become more than a food business. We want it to become a brand, an opportunity and a platform for people to build better futures.
Our community vision
Committed to community upliftment
A major part of the long-term Yummy Spit & Grill vision is our commitment to community upliftment.
Retrenchment and unemployment can have a significant impact on individuals and entire families. We want to develop Yummy Spit & Grill into a platform that can help people affected by job losses find new opportunities within the food industry.
As the business grows and the franchise model develops, our goal is to create opportunities for women, men and families affected by retrenchment — providing access to employment, training, skills development and potential entrepreneurial opportunities.
Through the Yummy Spit & Grill franchise model, we aim to create pathways for people to become part of a growing food business rather than simply being recipients of assistance.
Our vision is to create opportunities that lead to sustainable livelihoods.
/From food business to franchise
A model built to be handed on
A successful franchise network could create opportunities for individuals who want to enter the food industry but may not have the resources, experience or infrastructure to start completely on their own.
Through appropriate training, systems, operational support and mentorship, we aim to help franchise partners build sustainable businesses while maintaining the quality and identity of the Yummy brand.

About the founders
Best friends. Business partners.
Yummy Spit & Grill was founded through the collaboration of Gustav and Debbie, long-time best friends who share a passion for sensational food and great taste.
Their friendship provides the foundation for a partnership built around shared ideas, complementary strengths and a common entrepreneurial vision.
Together, they saw an opportunity to create a food brand that combines their passion for food with a bigger purpose: building a business that can grow while creating opportunities for others.
Their ambition is not simply to operate one successful food outlet. They want to build a scalable brand capable of creating multiple outlets, food trucks, catering operations and restaurants while eventually providing franchise opportunities to others.
