Franchise

Build a business, not just a job. A model designed from day one to be handed on.

The opportunity

A model designed to be handed on

Our long-term objective is to develop Yummy Spit & Grill into a replicable business model that can be expanded through franchising.

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, Yummy Spit & Grill aims to help franchise partners build sustainable businesses while maintaining the quality and identity of the Yummy brand.

We're building that model now, from our first outlet in Stellenbosch. If you want to be part of it as it develops, we want to hear from you early.

  • 01Training

    Hands-on preparation in the kitchen, on the spit and behind the counter.

  • 02Systems

    Recipes, procedures, suppliers and standards that keep every outlet consistent.

  • 03Support

    Ongoing operational help while your business finds its feet and grows.

  • 04Mentorship

    Direct guidance from the founders who built the model from nothing.

/Our community vision

Pathways, not hand-outs

Retrenchment and unemployment can have a significant impact on individuals and entire families. 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.

Our vision is to create opportunities that lead to sustainable livelihoods.
