Running a restaurant in Soweto means navigating load shedding schedules, sourcing reliable suppliers across the city, and timing kitchen operations around power windows. Capello manages this complexity while keeping orders moving and plates hot. During Eskom's downtime, kitchens have to pivot quickly—whether that's pre-prepping ingredients, using gas-powered cooking stations, or adjusting the menu to dishes that hold temperature. The back-of-house work is invisible to most diners, but it's what separates a restaurant that survives load shedding from one that doesn't. Capello keeps the lights on and the food coming.

In Soweto, the most genuine restaurant experiences are away from the Vilakazi Street tourist circuit, which has adjusted its pricing and menus to visitor expectations. The chisa nyama spots and local kitchen restaurants operating from neighbourhood commercial strips are where the township food culture is most authentic. Maponya Mall has attracted national chains for residents who want familiar brands without leaving the township.
