Retired executive shot himself at his Sea Point home in Cape Town a week ago

Former Spur CEO Pierre van Tonder, who helped build the chain from 40 to more than 630 restaurants, was skilled in mentoring juniors into senior managers and bringing the best out of people, say former colleagues as tributes poured in for one of the most well-known figures in the restaurant industry.

Van Tonder mentored many franchisees and started training academies for staff and franchise owners and middle management. He had been introducing new virtual brands, including sushi and burgers, sold only over Uber Eats and Mr D and made at Spur restaurants but marketed under different brands to attract a different clientele.

Van Tonder’s retirement came four months ago when the industry’s biggest challenge was filling seats after the government imposed lockdown measures and alcohol bans that left companies scrambling for cash to make up for sales losses and to navigate challenges posed by the pandemic. Though Van Tonder had called it a day at Spur, he was still a director of Hussar Grill, Spur’s upmarket restaurants.
