Resturant and Pub

Running a restaurant in George means navigating the reality of seasonal tourism alongside a permanent local base. The Kitchen operates differently in summer versus winter, when visitor numbers spike and drop. Load shedding has become part of the planning—menus shift toward dishes that don't rely on precision timing when power's unstable, prep work moves earlier in the day, and backup cooking methods become essential. A pub-restaurant combination works because it hedges the bet: when the lunch crowd thins, the evening drink crowd steadies things. Food storage, refrigeration management, and adapting the menu to what's fresh and available all shape how service actually runs day to day in a town with George's geography and supply chains.
