Who Is Now Now Actually For?
Now Now makes the most sense for two kinds of people: office workers grabbing lunch near a mall, and shoppers who want something better than food-court fried chicken without sitting down for an hour. It’s not really a family dinner spot. At these prices, feeding four people here costs more than most sit-down restaurants. Think of it as a solo lunch or a quick quality bite kind of place, not a Friday night out.

Now Now vs the Big Chains: What Lunch Really Costs
Numbers make the positioning obvious. Here’s what a roughly equivalent lunch, a burger with chips and something to drink, costs at each:
| Chain | Typical lunch | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| KFC | R70 – R100 | Burger meal with chips and drink |
| McDonald’s | R75 – R105 | Burger meal with medium chips and drink |
| Woolworths Now Now | R200 – R240 | Burger (R151) + wedges (R77), drink extra |
So you’re paying roughly double the big chains for lunch. Whether that’s worth it depends on what you value. The Now Now burger is made with better ingredients and it shows, but if your main concern is filling up cheaply, KFC and McDonald’s win without trying. Our cheapest fast food under R50 roundup shows exactly where the bargains are.
Is Woolworths Now Now Expensive?
Compared to KFC or McDonald’s? Yes, no contest. A burger meal at KFC costs R50 to R90 all in. At Now Now, a burger alone starts at R146 — no chips, no drink. Add a side and you’re near R200 for lunch.
But that’s the wrong comparison. Now Now isn’t competing with KFC. It’s competing with your R180 sit-down lunch and the R160 salad from the place next door. Against those, a R155 warm bowl or a R119 toastie is fair. The ingredients are genuinely a level above fast food, and you can taste where the money goes.
So: expensive for fast food, reasonable for what it actually is.
What’s Actually Worth Ordering
If you’re watching your wallet, three items stand out. The Basic Toastie (R96) is the cheapest proper meal on the menu and it’s good — sourdough does a lot of heavy lifting. The Sweet Spicy Wings (R93) are the best-value protein on the board. And the small Mac & Cheese Bowl (R93) is genuinely filling for the price.
For more ways to keep the bill down, our fast food deals page tracks current specials across eight chains, updated monthly.
What I’d skip: the Double Beef Burger at R174. It’s the priciest single item here, and at that money you’re in real restaurant territory. You could sit down somewhere for that.
Breakfast at Now Now
Most outlets open at 8:30am and do a proper breakfast trade, breakfast buns, egg pots, coffee, that sort of thing. It’s popular with the office crowd grabbing something on the way in. If breakfast is your main meal out, we’ve also rounded up fast food breakfast prices across South Africa separately.
One honest note: breakfast is the part of the menu that changes most often, so I’m not listing prices here that would be wrong within a month. Check the Uber Eats listing in the morning if you’re planning a breakfast run, it reflects the current menu.
Where to Find Woolworths Now Now
Now Now launched back in 2017 on Longmarket Street in Cape Town, and it’s grown to 10 dedicated mall outlets across the country. You’ll find them at Canal Walk, the V&A Waterfront and Milnerton in Cape Town; Rosebank Mall, Eastgate and Sandton City in Johannesburg; and Somerset Mall in the Western Cape, which opened in September 2026. Another outlet is planned for Broadacres in Johannesburg. Woolworths also runs smaller Now Now counters inside some of its Food stores.
Ordering Online
Now Now is on Uber Eats and Mr D for delivery. One warning: delivery menu prices usually run a bit higher than in-store, and then there’s the delivery fee on top. We’ve measured exactly how much more Uber Eats and Mr D charge versus walking in, worth knowing before you tap order. If there’s an outlet near you, walking in is the cheaper move.
