Somerset West Market

Hospitality and informal retail occupy different ends of the spectrum, but both depend on reading what separates amateur operation from sustainable business. In informal trading, that distinction matters immediately: traders who understand stock rotation, manage cash flow discipline, and build customer relationships survive longer than those treating it as pocket money. Somerset West Market operates where foot traffic actually exists and reputation compounds through consistent presence. Success here means showing up reliably, keeping products fresh and appealingly displayed, pricing competitively without underselling, and managing relationships with regular customers. Informal traders often lack the safety net of formal training or business systems, so instinct, adaptability, and genuine customer service become the core skills. Those who build predictable income learn to read seasons, adjust stock accordingly, and treat their pitch as an actual business rather than occasional income.
