Dark kitchens, also known as “Ghost Kitchens” or “Cloud Kitchens,” were born to fill a severe gap during the pandemic. When we were encouraged to stay away from one another, the idea of ordering food and groceries via an app took off with a bang. The likes of Checkers60, restaurants on UberEats, and Mr D quite literally blew up.🍔🥤🍟 Dark kitchens are virtual kitchens that set up shop in areas close to where people live and work. They must be within the minimal km radius needed to deliver food speedily. They don’t take up expensive, ground-floor retail space with good shop front exposure. Instead, they take up basement spaces with minimal windows, first-floor space, warehouse space, or more affordable commercial spaces with electricity and water for the kitchen set up. Customers do not visit dark kitchens to sit down, order, and eat; rather, they can call in or order via an app. The dark kitchen then prepares their meal and delivers it to them. With this model, restauranteurs have been able to save money on expensive retail fit-outs, staff, and rent while still being able to serve their customers. Because the kitchen is behind the scenes, many brands can be housed in one kitchen without the consumer ever knowing it.

@wilkinsoncape Oofff, busted. Thanks for pointing this out. Media is too involved in dividing this aspiring nation. Quietly cancels @news24 subscription. **

@MyCiTiBus According to your map, there are no MyCiti top-up near her. There is nothing on your route between Hout Bay and Sea Point (incl Camps Bay). In other words she will have to walk 6km (around 1hr) to top up her card? It seems really odd that you don't have anything in Camps Bay.

@fredroed Hi Fred, please see the link below for top up locations. She can also load Mover points at cash-accepting Absa ATMs across the city, regardless of who she banks with: myciti.org.za/en/myconnect-f…

Hey @MyCiTiBus - my daughter is in Camps Bay, and needs to top up her card. How can she do that there? (Also: surely, after 10 years we should have a digital way to do this?)

Local SA peeps of X.com, anyone know where I can buy aparcel delivery boxes for outside? I need something that can hold my regular deliveries. The only thing I can find in South Africa is this: wantitall.co.za/VEVOR-Package-… - looks cool, but pricy. Any alternatives?

@alenribic @aishapandor I remember having a beer with Alen and @StyliChara at Muizies Striped Zebra pub, post surf. We were talking about waves and your hubby kicked off a thoughtful discussion something about quantum mechanics, how he was musing upon a particular theorem between work stuff. Rad.

Husband just appeared out of the blue and started a conversation with “in case anyone ever asks you what fractional calculus is….” and then went on to talk about fractional calculus for 10min. I really don’t think anyone will ever randomly ask me what fractional calculus is.

This chart shows that adjusted for inflation, Venezuela's incomes are at a level last experienced after WW II. Socialism eroded 70-80 years of economic development.
