Restaurants and catering

The market for restaurants and catering to government is substantial, with about R18.5 million spent in this area. This market is relatively stable, with no year-over-year growth, which could indicate that it's not getting more competitive in terms of overall spend. You're looking at a fairly crowded space with 405 suppliers vying for contracts from 40 different departments, so it's essential to differentiate your business. It's also worth noting that the government prioritises businesses with certain ownership structures, with almost 58% of the allocation going to black-owned businesses, so ensuring your B-BBEE level is in order could be beneficial. To get a foothold in this market, you should start by researching the specific needs of the 40 departments that are buying these services and tailor your approach to meet those needs.
