Gianni was forced to put food on the table due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>He then decided to start the business from home, after 8 months, Gianni realised it was time to find premises and investment in order to sustain the fast growth of Comfort Chefs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cComfort is what the world was seeking during the pandemic so 1 plus 1 most certainly equalled 2,\u201d Gianni said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s like having a restaurant in your deep freezer,\u201d was my initial catchphrase. Comfort Chefs has become a household name in Bloemfontein and surrounds with a database of more than 800 families supporting and purchasing Comfort Meals on a weekly, monthly and quarterly basis,\u201d the proud owner mentioned.<\/p>\n<p>Comfort Chefs produces home-cooked, high-quality freezer meals on a large scale basis for the local community and also couriers these dishes nationally to other provinces.<\/p>\n<p>We also provide Platters, catering services, cakes, and our own butchery selling meat used in our dishes, directly to the public.<\/p>\n<p>The on-the-go gourmet business also has a feature for the modern-day working mother to feed her children called tot-packs. The tot-packs and adult packs can also be purchased for diabetic patients.<\/p>\n<p>The butchery helps Gianni quite efficiently by keeping costs down, making their products more affordable.<\/p>\n<p>Through Comfort Chefs, Gianni constantly tries to motivate and inspire others to find the courage and take various leaps of faith.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I go home to my family each evening I look at my wife and my children and become motivated for the next day to keep providing.<\/p>\n<p>I guess that could mean that I am inspired by the privilege to provide. I have 4-year-old twin girls and a 6-year-old type 1 diabetic son, that says it all about the service I provide,\u201d Gianni said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are constantly evolving and keeping up with our customer\u2019s expectations and demands. It will take a while longer to establish further and become a first choice brand on supermarket shelves, a concept which might take time.<\/p>\n<p>Between work and home, Gianni focuses on giving all of himself by serving his customers and loved ones. Children need ALL of you, and that is a privilege and pleasure to give to mine, Gianni concluded.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Text: Abigail Visagie <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gianni D\u2019Offizi is not only a man of faith, family and hard work, but also sees miracles in everything he does, including his beloved food business, Comfort Chefs. \u201cEverything I do runs on the principles of love and family,\u201d Gianni mentioned.
