A new liquor-only delivery app has just been launched in South Africa by a Soweto-bred entrepreneur.
It mainly targets consumers in South Africa's biggest metros and surrounding areas, such as townships where mainstream delivery apps are not accessible.
"The challenge was; the big supermarket stores, the likes of Checkers and others, they have their own apps, but then our local bottle stores and taverns are struggling. To build this kind of app is a tedious job, and they don't have that kind of muscle, to be honest," Nkosi said. During the trial phase, bottle stores and taverns expressed their need for the delivery service, citing that it would supplement declining footfall that has not fully recovered since the lockdown restrictions that kept patrons away.
