Hands-on operators
People willing to be in the business, not just own it — on the floor, at the spit, with the team.
Build a business, not just a job. A model designed from day one to be handed on.
The opportunity
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.
Hands-on preparation in the kitchen, on the spit and behind the counter.
Recipes, procedures, suppliers and standards that keep every outlet consistent.
Ongoing operational help while your business finds its feet and grows.
Direct guidance from the founders who built the model from nothing.
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.
Why we franchise
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.
Employment and career opportunities in the food industry.
Practical skills development and training.
A way in for people affected by job losses.
Business ownership for partners who are ready for it.
A positive impact beyond our own business.

You don't need a background in hospitality. You do need the appetite for hard work, high standards and looking after people.
People willing to be in the business, not just own it — on the floor, at the spit, with the team.
Partners who take the quality and identity of the Yummy brand as seriously as we do.
