AFRICAFE RESTAURANT
OVERVIEW OF MEMBER COMPANIES
Africafe is an African coffee themed restaurant located in Pretoria, South
Africa. Africafe is a quintessence of African food and beverages delicacies
and customer delights. The Pretoria outlet has a sitting capacity of 280
people.
Africafe sources its coffee and tea products from organic and non-organic
producers in Africa. It provides great ambience with predominantly
African themes, supported by soft music from all over the continent. It
has become the gathering place for those with exquisite tastes for great
coffee, and appetite for business networking. Although coffee is one of
the signature products of the restaurant, we do not sell coffee – we sell
coffee experience!
Our same taste guarantee emanates from our involvement and influence
in coffee and tea growing, harvesting and roasting.
Like any other member of the Bembani Group, Africafe is geared towards
achieving the aspirations of sustainable development. Our short term
sustainability goals are:
• Source 50% of fresh produce from local organic producers – this
will reduce the carbon footprint associated with transportation and
use of chemicals;
• Increase natural gas grillers to 80% of the energy sources for
cooking and grilling;
• Increase use of recycled materials and bio-degradable packaging..
