Scooters Pizza Glenwood gets revamped under new management

Scooters Pizza Glenwood’s operational proficiency and customer appeal is now equally appealing, following a recent change of ownership and store revamp, of which the latter aligns to Scooters Pizza’s overall brand make-over.

The Durban based store has been reinvigorated with the incorporation of Scooters Pizza’s more up-market, engaging, modern, and fresh branding, which has made for a more visually attractive and enticing dining environment.

In addition, the store has been enhanced with increased strategic value as businessmen Dean Clark and Gavin Penfold have drawn on their considerable expertise and management experience to implement several noteworthy changes.

“Our initial goal at Scooters Pizza Glenwood will primarily revolve around implementing basic but necessary measures related to store operations. This includes opening and trading ever day according to our operational hours, and ensuring that our staff fully understand and comply with their duties,” says Penfold. “From this grounding, we will establish an environment in which the store is more productive, has better staff efficiency, and ultimately services our loyal and prospective customers with quality meal offering, an ultimately a slice of the good life.”

Other measures the co-owners plan to introduce include an effective staff incentive scheme, and increasing the amount of staff training programmes.

Clark has experience in franchising having managed a successful restaurant franchise in Durban, while Penfold was head of design management at a UK based construction company.

Christo Calitz, CEO of Taste Holdings Food Division asserts that Clark and Penfold have the necessary credentials to build on Scooters Pizza Glenwood’s performance and operational standards.

“Dean and Gavin have achieved verifiable results as businessmen, and have proven that they have the expertise, acumen and skill-set to manage highly efficient and dynamic enterprises. This background is certain to translate into on-the-ground benefit for Scooters Pizza Glenwood, and we fully expect that customers will embrace the positive changes at the store.”

Clark says that the greater management control associated with food franchising motivated their decision as co-owners to purchase Scooters Pizza Glenwood, as they will ultimately have greater input into the direction and management of the business.

“Gavin and I truly believe that through effective team work, hands on management, and gaining a firm insight into the intricacies of our product and habits of our customers, Scooters Pizza Glenwood will turn over a healthy profit, and become an attractive proposition to the community for many years to come.”
