It started, as many good ideas do, with a simple question overheard more times than one could count:“Where can I find a decent meal today without spending a fortune? Or,“Isn’t there a local special happening somewhere"?
For the team behind The Go-To Guy, these weren’t just idle questions,they were clues. Clues that revealed a real, pressing need in the community. Potchefstroom, a town rich in culture, student life, and local flavour, was brimming with restaurants, caterers, home cooks, and service providers.
One Platform, Two Solutions
With the launch of The Daily Deals section, The Go-To Guy created a homegrown solution that feels as though it was tailor-made for Potchefstroom’s unique rhythm. In a town filled with flavour and food talent, finding daily specials or home-cooked meal options often meant navigating a maze of Facebook posts, WhatsApp broadcasts, and word-of-mouth suggestions.
You’d spot a lunch deal while scrolling, only to lose it moments later in the feed. For local businesses, it was just as disjointed,they had great offerings but no dependable way to reach the people actively looking for them. That constant digital noise needed structure. And that’s exactly what The Go-To Guy set out to create, a space where food meets focus, and local deals don’t get lost in the shuffle.
🛍️ The Daily Deals Page
Meanwhile, the Daily Deals section widens the lens. It’s not just about meals,it’s about promoting local value. From discounted spa treatments to limited-time bakery bundles, car washes to haircut specials, this section is a celebration of Potchefstroom’s entrepreneurs.And it works both ways: for the residents, it’s a place to save money and explore new businesses. For business owners, it’s an affordable alternative to expensive online advertising. In a town where most small businesses rely on community support, that visibility can make the difference between a quiet week and a packed calendar.
Real Value for Real Businesses
It’s easy to see why the platform has gained so much traction so quickly. For just R599 per month, local businesses get more than just a listing. They get an entire support system:
A spot on the Go-To Guy website
Promotion through Potchefstroom’s most engaged local social media pages
A WhatsApp connection with residents who actually want to see their offers
The ability to update deals whenever needed—no waiting, no fuss
For those wanting to go even further, the video feature is the next big thing. At R2000 once-off, "The Go-To Guy offers a video service that tells tour story, in the authentic and imprompt style that The Go-To Guy became famous for, your story, our platforms”
A Platform Rooted in Community
What sets Daily Deals & Meals apart isn’t just the service,it’s the spirit behind it. This isn’t a faceless national brand trying to plug coupons into your life. This is local people creating solutions for local challenges. The Go-To Guy knows the streets of Potch, knows the taste of our bakeries, the sound of the bustling Saturday markets, the charm of a corner coffee shop with handwritten chalkboard menus.
By creating this platform, they’re not just helping businesses make more sales,they’re strengthening the local economy, feeding families, and turning strangers into loyal customers.And in a town like Potchefstroom, that kind of heart matters.
