Restaurants and catering

The market for restaurants and catering in Gauteng is quite substantial, with about R8.6 million spent by government departments in this area. This market is relatively crowded, with 141 different suppliers competing for contracts from 12 departments. It's worth noting that the market size has remained steady, with no year-over-year growth, so you'll need to be competitive to win contracts. To increase your chances of success, it's also important to consider the B-BBEE levels, as a significant portion of the allocation is set aside for black-owned, women-owned, and youth-owned businesses, with 57.86% going to black-owned businesses. To get started, you should analyse your own B-BBEE level and see how you can improve it to make your business more attractive to government departments in this space.
