that would happen without the franchise restaurant there and I do not believe the litter in the park is a restaurant or shop problem, but a people problem. We were getting ripped off for food in current restaurants with quality not up to scratch. Here, the price is uniform around country and quality will be consistent otherwise it affects the brand name and franchises outside the park.
I for one think it is better than what we have currently and let's be honest, SANparks are not going into the restaurant business again.
RT, the new franchise groups may result in more vehicles as there’s more franchise groups. They aren’t sharing delivery vehicles
A section of the new franchise groups specialise in takeaways where as the current don’t, so potential for more litter, especially if more people are using them, which surely is the plan, but agreed a people problem.
Do you have confirmation that the price is going to be uniform? It costs more to run a franchise in KNP versus the rest of the country, so I wouldn’t expect uniform pricing
Agreed, we are getting ripped off with the current quality of food and service, but don’t you think that more than half the same staff are going to be employed by these franchises. Hopefully the management structure is different, so we don’t just get the same thing in different packaging
I think you lost the conservation point. SANParks should be more worried about the rhino that are getting killed than the restaurants, hotels or the new vision where money takes preference. The general public should also be.
Let's wait and see, but hopefully at least we will get better food in KNP, which is a plus
