“South African restaurant-goers have really high expectations from the franchise restaurants they visit. Excellent value for money, top quality food, quick service and a great overall experience are usually on the menu of demands,” said Professor Adré Schreuder, chief executive of Consulta.
The study also revealed that South African customers more often visit restaurants that source locally produced ingredients as well as brands which offer nutritional meals.
