South Africans are eating out more in 2023 than they did pre-pandemic, with all income segments increasing their expenditure on takeaways and in-restaurant dining.
This is according to a study conducted by Discovery Bank and Visa, which analysed South African consumer habits from 2019 to 2022.
South Africans post-pandemic are eating out more across all income segments and regions. However, this trend increases as the load-shedding stages are raised. The increased spending on eating out is also compounded by elevated numbers of people working from home.As load-shedding increases, spending on groceries remains flat as people still need to prepare and cook food when ordering groceries, while eating out provides an immediate solution.As a family increases in size, their spending on eating out decreases proportionally, while spending on groceries increases as a family grows.Spur in Port Elizabeth .
