Saul Beder

With 25 years of dedication in the restaurant industry, I had to alter my life path due to the outbreak of Covid. My heart and soul were in the restaurant trade as this has been the core of my lifelong journey to date.

The many years of experience gained within this industry have resulted in a diverse set of capabilities and experience across many tiers of business which can be applied to various other industries.

I have always had an avid social media presence for the restaurants. I use both Facebook, Instagram and web based shops as the ways to communicate with customers. I had successfully managed to create a huge online presence which attributed to the success of my businesses.
