News Cafe is a full-service cafe-bar and cocktail franchise restaurant chain founded in South Africa in 1995.
The first News Cafe opened in 1995[1] in Hatfield, Pretoria, shortly after the lifting of sanctions against South Africa signalled the entry of overseas hospitality franchises such as McDonalds into the South African food service market.
The News Cafe concept[2] relies in particular on:
- High-profile location - usually in suburban districts with an established daytime and evening restaurant trade
- Innovative food menu, developed centrally and changed every four to six months
- Night-club type atmosphere, usually with dance music and a small dance floor.
The News Cafe brand is owned by the holding company Fournews Developments[3]; it has branches across southern Africa, including a News Cafe in Gaborone, Botswana.
