Daluxolo's Recipe for Success: How Asset-Backed Lending Helped Dee’s Grill to Chill Serve More and Dream Bigger
Dee’s grill to chill
Background
For Daluxolo Gladwin Mbadu, food was more than just a career—it was his dream. Drawing on five years of experience with a leading restaurant franchise, Daluxolo envisioned a fast-food business that brought township classics like Kotas and Vetkoeks to his community. That vision became Dee’s Grill to Chill, a vibrant hotspot in Westonaria.
The Challenge
As Dee’s Grill to Chill grew in popularity, the business faced a critical bottleneck: demand was outpacing what the kitchen could produce. Without the right equipment, Daluxolo struggled to meet customer expectations while maintaining quality and efficiency.
The Solution
Daluxolo partnered with Mutualism, securing asset-backed funding to upgrade his kitchen equipment. This allowed him to:
- Serve more customers during peak times.
- Streamline operations and ensure faster service.
- Deliver meals that upheld his reputation for quality.
Seeing the impact, Daluxolo returned for a second loan to open an internet café, diversifying his revenue streams and creating a hub for the community.
The Results
Today, Dee’s Grill to Chill is more than a fast-food joint—it’s a community hub where locals gather, connect, and enjoy delicious meals. Daluxolo credits Mutualism for helping him realise his dream of building a thriving business.
