Rock@88

Running a restaurant in Pretoria means working around Eskom's schedule as much as the kitchen's. Load shedding reshapes everything—timing of reservations, menu adjustments when griddles can't fire properly, and how quickly you can turn tables during power windows. Rock@88 operates in that reality, managing service logistics that wouldn't exist in other cities. The kitchen operates during available hours, inventory planning accounts for refrigeration gaps, and staff adapt menu execution to whatever power state the grid is in that day. It's operational complexity invisible to most diners but constant in the background, shaping every service decision from prep through final plate.
