An open letter to President Ramaphosa from the restaurant industry

Grace Harding, the spokesperson for The Restaurant Collective, has written a letter to President Cyril Ramaphosa, detailing the industry's plans for recovery for the sit-down restaurant industry.Just one year ago, the food and beverages industry contributed R6-billion monthly to the SA economy* and employed more than 500 000 people. The majority of these businesses are SMMEs – small entrepreneurial successes.

Customers have lost their jobs – the dire economic state of our country is going to have the biggest impact on our industryThe R|C is presenting a blueprint for its own recovery, but we need the ear and the support of the relevant government departments to make this a reality. We need less experienced restaurant owners to be mentored by more experienced owners. We need to set up a task group of diverse skills – both private and public.
