How braai stand or small shisanyama works

  • Lesson 1 of 19
  • 5 min read
  • Free lesson

Braai and sell meat, wors, chicken and pap at weekends, events or a fixed spot, either selling meat by the plate or braaiing what customers buy.

Who it suits

People who love braaiing, have a good spot and can handle long weekend hours and cash safely.

Who pays

Weekend crowds, sports fans, families and workers.

What they get

Ready braaied food and a place to gather.

Is there demand?

Shisanyamas are a familiar part of township weekends, but we found no published prices or takings we trust, so we do not quote any. Ask sellers near you.

Real examples
  • Weekend stand at your gate
  • Events and sports days
  • Next to a butchery
  • Taverns that allow food vendors

A good sign: three weekends in a row with profit after all costs.

You report this yourself. Nobody checks, so it only counts if you really did it.
