The fast-food giant known for its savage marketing, Nando’s, has once again lived up to its reputation by allegedly roasting a rival establishment.
An alleged poster from the establishment was shared on X and gained significant engagement from an entertained online community.
The post, said to be from Nando's, poked fun at the Steers franchise after a video circulated on social media of restaurant employees doing garden work outside the establishment instead of being in the kitchen. The poster features two random men in purple t-shirts, which is the same-colour uniform as Steers' company. Next to it is a picture of a man wearing a Nando's apron braaiing meat on the grill.
The cheeky swipe allegedly from Nando’s
In the signature savage nature of the brand, the post is captioned with the words “Some people do garden on the clock. We do grilling.” X user @LeratoPillayZA jokingly captioned her post, asking why Nando's would roast Steers like that, finding the whole comeback amusing.
