Hidden fees, high commissions, and driver exploitation have left restaurants struggling to stay afloat. Recognizing this broken system, Troy Smith, CEO of Chop Chop, created a solution designed to empower restaurants and drivers alike while saving money for small businesses.Chop Chop isn't your typical food delivery app. “We're not an ordering app,” Troy explained in today's episode. “We believe restaurants should take their own orders and payments. What we do is connect drivers with restaurants.” This unique approach eliminates the hefty commissions that traditional apps charge—often up to 30% of an order—enabling restaurants to retain more of their revenue.Troy's innovative model is simple yet impactful. Restaurants pay a flat $199 monthly fee to access the app, allowing them to connect with vetted drivers who deliver orders. Unlike other platforms, Chop Chop ensures drivers are paid fairly—directly from the restaurant through Stripe, with funds held in escrow until delivery is confirmed. Customers receive real-time updates via SMS without needing to download the app, while restaurants maintain full control of the customer relationship.This streamlined system offers a lifeline to small businesses, especially mom-and-pop restaurants, which have been disproportionately affected by high delivery fees. “Deliveries have become a huge revenue stream for restaurants, especially since COVID,” Troy shared. “But the current system just isn't working. Restaurants are paying more money to send food to their own customers than ever before.”Chop Chop's mission extends beyond financial benefits. Many drivers and restaurants in the network are first-generation immigrants who often face exploitation in the gig economy. “FundingHope really resonated with us because they're looking out for the small guy,” Troy said. Chop Chop's crowdfunding campaign on FundingHope invites customers, drivers, and supporters to invest in the platform and help scale this game-changing solution.For just $199 a month—less than the price of a cup of coffee per day—restaurants can reclaim control, drivers can earn fairly, and customers can support their favorite local businesses without guilt. Chop Chop is more than a delivery app; it's a movement to restore fairness and transparency in food delivery.Visit ChopChop.mobi or FundingHope to learn more about this revolutionary app and its crowdfunding campaign.tl;dr:Troy Smith explains how Chop Chop empowers restaurants by eliminating high delivery fees and exploitation.The platform charges restaurants a flat $199 monthly fee, connecting them with vetted drivers for deliveries.Chop Chop ensures drivers are paid fairly via Stripe, fostering transparency and trust in the process.Inspired by personal experiences and challenges during COVID, Troy created a practical, scalable solution.The company invites investors to join its FundingHope campaign, supporting a fairer food delivery ecosystem.How to Develop Making a Plan As a SuperpowerTroy Smith's superpower, as he describes it, is the ability to “make a plan.” Growing up in Zimbabwe, he adopted the Afrikaans phrase maak a plan, meaning to solve problems through creativity and resourcefulness. “When something presents itself, a challenge, something is going wrong, you make a plan,” Troy explained in this episode.One powerful story that exemplifies this superpower occurred during the early days of COVID. Troy visited a small Japanese restaurant, where the owner, short on staff, asked him to deliver food for $10. This simple act planted the seed for Chop Chop. “She made the plan for me,” Troy said, “and I realized we could turn this into an app, connecting drivers with restaurants while ensuring fair pay.”To develop this superpower, Troy suggests starting with observation. “Instead of jumping in and trying to fix things, take a moment to see what's going on,” he shared. Identifying the root cause of a problem is key to crafting an effective solution. He also emphasizes the importance of systems, a lesson he learned while running McDonald's franchises in South Africa.By following Troy's example and advice, you can make problem-solving a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileTroy Smith (he/him):CEO, Chop ChopAbout Chop Chop: Chop Chop is a logistics platform that empowers restaurants to run first-party delivery without the costs and headaches of hiring their own drivers. We are not an ordering platform. Restaurants continue to take orders and payments directly from their customers. We connect them with local verified drivers who are screened for license and insurance and who complete deliveries on demand. Unlike third-party apps, we do not take commissions or add hidden fees. Instead, we charge a flat subscription, allowing restaurants to keep more revenue, drivers to earn fairly, and customers to avoid surprise charges.Website: chopchop.mobiOther URL: invest.fundinghope.com/offering/chop-chop/detailsBiographical Information: Troy Smith is the co-founder and CEO of Chop Chop, a logistics platform that helps restaurants run first-party delivery without relying on costly third-party apps. A former McDonald's franchisee, Troy understands firsthand the challenges restaurants face with slim margins and complex operations. He launched Chop Chop to give restaurants control over delivery, ensure fair pay for drivers, and provide customers with transparent, fee-free service.LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/trychopchopSupport Our SponsorsOur generous sponsors make our work possible, serving impact investors, social entrepreneurs, community builders and diverse founders.

Daphne Velghe is New Yorker, topmodel en Celebrity Masterchef. En ja, ze is geboren in Antwerpen. Als kind was ze grote fan van 'De Leeuwenkoning'. Ze had zelfs - jawel - een crush op Mufasa! In die mate dat ze onlangs op haar vrijgezellenfeest werd verrast door vooral muzikale vragen over die favoriete tekenfilm.'Mufasa: The Lion King' zet vol in op grote namen, zowel in de cast als achter de camera. Voor deze prequel wilde Disney vooral mensen met streetcred: 'Moonlight'-regisseur Barry Jenkins en muziek van 'Hamilton'-componist Lin-Manuel Miranda. Een strategie die we ook steeds meer zien in de modewereld, waar Disney en fashion elkaar blijkbaar vinden.De film volgt duidelijk de blueprint van 'The Lion King': alle hoofdpersonages zijn verbannelingen en daar ligt misschien té veel nadruk op. Wat maakt dit nu authentiek Afrikaans, zoals de regisseur zo graag wilde? En waarom lijkt Mufasa voortdurend in levensgevaar in de savanne? We missen de comic relief van Timon en Pumbaa. Maar hey, hakuna matata!Welke versie moet Disney nu behouden als ze pretparkattracties gaan maken? Wat gaat de nieuwe generaties aanspreken? En we nerden even over Tokyo DisneySea.

South Africans love their rusks - or “beskuit,” as we say in Afrikaans. It's a ritual we can hardly imagine our morning coffee without. It was a habit embraced by most of the families Nelia Ngulube, affectionately known as Yaya, worked for - one that eventually prompted her to start baking her own. Yaya's Rusk has now grown into a thriving business and a fast-growing online presence. What began as a financial lifeline quickly snowballed into a social media phenomenon, with Yaya's Rusks gaining thousands of followers and orders within weeks. In this interview with Biznews, Yaya and her social media mentor Kate Wilkinson share the story behind South Africa's beloved Chief Rusk Officer - and what's next for her delicious empire.

Die direktoraat van onderwys, kuns en kultuur in Oshana het Saterdag die eerste ooit Afrikaanse fees in die streek aangebied. Die fees gaan ‘n jaarlikse instelling word om die taal en kultuur in skole te bevorder wat Afrikaans as vak aanbied. Twaalf skole het aan vanjaar se debuutfees in Ongwediva deelgeneem. Een van die organiseerders, Eugenie Forbes, het die doelwitte van die fees verduidelik:

In vandag se episode gesels Ernst en Louis oor Fikile Mbalula se rassistiese uitlatings tydens die perskonferensie na afloop van die ANC se NUK-vergadering. Hy het onder meer die eerste Afrikanervlugtelinge na die VSA "karwagte" genoem – wat dit ookal veronderstel is om te beteken. Daarna kom die jongste haatspraak-uitspraak ter sprake. Kenny Kunene is deur die hof verbied om Malema voortaan weer 'n kakkerlak te noem, aangesien dit op haatspraak sou neerkom. Terwyl dit vir Malema steeds baie belangrik is dat die hof bepaalde ander uitlatings nié as haatspraak beskou nie.Die Podlitiek-span bestaan uit: Louis BoshoffErnst van Zyl Arno Roodt
