Driving South Africa Forward Together
Mzansi Food is providing
online ordering food delivery services to millions of users across the South
African region. Mzansi Food is powered by heart and driven by technology, we
aim to unlock the true potential of the region by solving the problems that
hinder progress for our communities.
Transforming cities, changing lives
At Mzansi Food, our
goal is to grow and empower local economies. To do this, we start by helping
the merchants/restaurants - the local businesses that create 60%+ of the jobs
in every city. Our vision - which will take decades to realize - is to build a
last-mile logistics platform, create a set of services to grow a merchant’s
sales, and produce a membership program that connects consumers to the
merchants that sustain them.
The road ahead will not be easy. That’s why we’re looking for people from
all backgrounds to help us solve seemingly impossible problems at lightning
speed. Those with courage and grit, who work hard, fast and smart. Those who
don’t wait to implement good ideas, are comfortable with imperfection but
determined to get 1% better every day. Think you’re up for the challenge? Join
us!
We Are Leaders
Be an owner
No problem is too
big, too small or outside of our scope of work. We are all get in and assist.
Dream big, start
small
We take all small
ideas and make them grow using data and rigorous testing. We show evidence of progress
and then double down.
Choose optimism,
and have a plan
Positive thinking
brings people along and helps us achieve ambitious, often unreasonable goals.
We choose optimism, especially when things are tough.
WE
ARE DOERS
Bias for action
In a fast-moving
technological world, the only way to predict the future is to invent it. We
launch solutions quickly, test them and make changes as needed.
Operate at the
lowest level of detail
We aspire to know
the lowest level of detail so we can make progress on the things that are
critical to our business and our customers.
And, not either/or
We’re not satisfied
picking between options or sacrificing one thing for another. We don’t get
sucked into false dichotomies and instead, we engineer a way to do both.
We Are Learners
Truth seek
We’re not afraid to
dig in and uncover the truth, even if it’s scary or inconvenient. We use data
and common sense to solve problems.
1% better every
day.
Our goal isn’t
perfection; it’s constant and never-ending improvement. We look for
opportunity, share feedback and celebrate a growth-mindset.
Customer-obsessed,
not competitor focused.
We focus on our
customers and our performance. We stay connected to the people we serve and
learn from them every day.
We Are One Team

table

growing and empowering a more diverse and inclusive community. We believe that

Think outside of the box

inclusive as possible and consider those who may not be in the room when making
