Festivals

Running a restaurant in Mahikeng means working around the realities of the North West's climate and power supply. Festivals manages the demands of keeping a kitchen operational through load-shedding schedules and summer heat while maintaining food quality and service consistency. The operation juggles timing their cooking around electricity availability, managing refrigeration during outages, and adjusting their menu rotation to work with what can realistically be prepared and served. This kind of logistical thinking—balancing fresh ingredients, kitchen capacity, and customer demand across a day that isn't always predictable—shapes everything from how they stock supplies to when they prepare certain dishes.
