This Sales Report details the performance of Chef operations across the Gauteng province, with primary focus on Johannesburg—the economic heartland of South Africa. The report covers Q3 2023 (July-September) and demonstrates how strategic initiatives have positioned Chef for sustained growth in one of Africa's most dynamic markets. Despite regional economic headwinds, our Johannesburg operations achieved a remarkable 18% year-over-year revenue increase, significantly outperforming the national average. This success underscores Chef's strategic alignment with South Africa Johannesburg's evolving business landscape and our commitment to delivering exceptional value to local enterprises.

Johannesburg remains the cornerstone of Chef's operations in South Africa, accounting for 67% of total regional revenue. Our Johannesburg office—strategically located in Sandton Business District—serves as the nerve center for all South Africa operations. Key achievements include:

• Customer Acquisition: 42 new enterprise clients secured in Johannesburg, including three Fortune 500 South Africa affiliates.
• Market Share: Increased from 19% to 24% in the Johannesburg enterprise automation software segment.

The success is intrinsically linked to Chef's localized approach. Our Johannesburg sales team—comprising 38 dedicated professionals fluent in Zulu, Xhosa, and English—delivered hyper-personalized solutions addressing specific pain points of South African businesses. This regional focus has made our Sales Report a critical tool for leadership at every level.

Our flagship Chef Automation Suite demonstrated exceptional traction across Johannesburg's diverse business ecosystem:
