South Africans love dining out, with 95% eating out once a month or more. By understanding their habits and reasons for dining out, restaurateurs can set themselves apart and keep diners coming back for more.
In a recent survey, we asked South Africans how far they’re willing travel for a meal. Great food, value for money, and amazing service are all factors that sway diners to drive that extra mile.
We asked South Africans how they find restaurants in 2024. Social media, SEO, and reservation platforms lead the way, emphasising the need for a strong online presence.
