A NEW world class fast food outlet, Steak ’n Chips has been opened in Gweru, a major move set to increase competition among players in the sector.
The outlet was opened after a young Gweru businessman, Mr Tawedzerwa Mudzvoka converted Size Butchery into the new business.
Steak ’n Chips opened its doors on Saturday last week and offers Pizza, burgers, chicken and chips combos, shawarma at relatively low prices and offer home delivery.
Steak ’n Chips has become a game changer in the fast food industry with other competitors now feeling the heat.
The outlet does not demand foreign currency as with other players in the fast-growing industry.
Mr Mudzvoka said all products being sold in the outlet are local.
“We have taken heed of the Buy Zimbabwe call by Government and we are getting all our products locally. Our chicken, potatoes, flour and many other cooking ingredients are produced locally. We also accept all forms of payment. We trade in local currency and we do not demand foreign currency like other players do. We know the industry has stiff competition but we are up for the challenge,” he said.
Mr Mudzvoka said the initiative will also go a long way in creating employment opportunities in Gweru.
“All our employees are from Gweru. We took them and sent them for training. The idea is to create jobs for the youth in the city. We have about 50 employees. We also have a bakery side. Our prices are far below than other players because we do not import anything,” he said.
