Three steps to hot food

01

We set up

A portable microwave cart with power, positioned at your location — campus gate, taxi rank, market corner.

02

You bring food

Workers, students, traders arrive with their lunch. They queue, we heat it fast. 2–3 minutes per session.

03

You pay, we profit

R10–R20 per heating. Snacks and drinks sold on the side. Event bookings for extra revenue. Simple.

The Worker

Carries food from home. Eats it cold at the taxi rank. Spends R50+ on cold takeaways instead. HeatGo gives them hot meals at R15.

The Student

No microwave in the res. Brings leftovers from home. Cold fried chicken isn't great. A R15 heat session changes everything.

The Vendor

Markets and sports events. Food stalls need quick heating backup. HeatGo can be a service they offer or a station they host for a fee.

Three ways to make money

Heating service
R15 avg

Per heating session. Target 40 customers a day = R600/day, R15,600/month.

40 customers × R15 = R600/day × 26 days
Snacks & drinks
R300–R800

Daily extra from instant noodles, pies, coffee, cold drinks. Buy wholesale, sell at margin.

Low overhead, high impulse purchases
Events & festivals
R3,000+

Rent a microwave station to sports events, festivals, school events. Charge per day or per session.

Festival setup + branding = premium price
Target monthly revenue R19,000+

No one should eat cold food
because they can't find a microwave.

South Africa's informal economy feeds millions. But the workers, students, and traders at the heart of it are eating cold food because nobody built the infrastructure they need. HeatGo changes that.

Start with one cart. Run it every day. Grow into a network of hot food stations across every high-traffic corner of the country.
