Salsify and FYN both claim spots on prestigious list
So here's a bit of a brainteaser which may require you to reach for a Panado or two... Salsify at the Roundhouse has just been named in 88th spot and FYN in 82nd place on The World's 50 Best Restaurants Top 100 list. The question you may be pondering now is, how do you make the 82nd and 88th spots on a top 50 list? Well, you see, this particular list highlights the 50 best restaurants globally as their flagship list, but then they also have a secondary extended list of the next best in the world - it's kind of a preview to the restaurants who are likely to have a go at cracking the top 50 one day. I told you that Panado would come in handy. The news broke on Thursday and to say that Salsify head chef Nina du Toit is happy would be an understatement. 'I am so proud of what we have accomplished, it has been a dream to be on the list, and it has been many years of consistent growth and hard work,' says Nina. Since opening its doors in 2018, Salsify has become known and celebrated for its insistence on the preservation of heritage; paying tribute to history, stories and ingredients while creating outstanding light, delicate dishes. FYN's Peter Tempelhoff shares the delight felt by du Toit, saying: 'To be recognised by the World's 50 Best for the fifth time is an extraordinary honour. This is a celebration of the whole team - from our kitchen and service brigades to our foragers, farmers, fishermen and ceramicists. FYN is the product of a deeply collaborative ecosystem, and this recognition is for everyone who plays apart in creating the FYN experience. We are very grateful.' Fun fact about FYN FYN is the only African establishment to be awarded the top-tier three-star rating from the Food Made Good Standard in 2025 - the global benchmark for ethical hospitality. Fun fact about Salsify Last year, Salsify erected an immersive ceiling installation of thousands of meticulously folded flowers made from old Salsify menus – dating back to the restaurant's opening in 2018 – symbolising both the evolution of the restaurant and its commitment to sustainability. Each flower tells a story of culinary creativity and the team's dedication to reducing waste and preserving the essence of what Salsify stands for.

Using fish, poultry and meat from the best local suppliers, chefs Ashley Moss and Peter Tempelhoff serve a tasting menu with dishes such as the signature hazelnut-crusted springbok with salt-baked celeriac, black figs and mountain sage. General manager Jennifer Hugé runs the dining room, underneath which the team also oversees a casual ramen bar called Ramenhead. No 88 Salsify at the Roundhouse – NEW ENTRY Cape Town As far as settings go, you'd have to go some to top this Camps Bay spot.

Three Cape Town restaurants make the World's Best list for 2025
Three Cape Town spots have been named in the top 100 World's Best Restaurant's list, solidifying its reputation as the best South African city to dine in. La Colombe (55), FYN (82) and Salsify (a new entry at 88) all made the list, with La Colombe making it's 6th appearance, and FYN making it's 5th. Each year, the World's 50 Best Restaurants list highlights 50 exceptional dining establishments, accompanied by an extended list ranking restaurants from 51 to 100. Previously, Paternoster restaurant Wolfgat made the cut, peaking at number 50 in 2021. The co-owner of Salsify, Ryan Cole, told News24 Food that the ranking was a result of years of graft from his team. 'It's incredible to be recognised on a world stage, it's a testament to years of commitment and hard work. I don't think you can ever expect something like this.' Salsify also took home the coveted Eat Out Restaurant of the Year award for 2025 in March. Salsify head chef Nina du Toit told News24 Food that their accolades this year were not an overnight success story, but rather 'a culmination of the last six years of consistent hard work and innovation, always pushing to be better'. 'I am so proud of what we have accomplished, it has been a dream to be on the list,' she added.

Salsify Launches FeedbackIQ to Streamline GDSN with AI
Salsify's global GDSN product also now supports additional regions, underscoring the competitive edge that GDSN + PXM unlocks for brand manufacturers BOSTON, June 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Salsify, the Product Experience Management (PXM) platform empowering brand manufacturers, distributors, and retailers to win on the digital shelf, today announced a significant enhancement to its Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN) product with the launch of FeedbackIQ. This new AI-powered capability interprets complex GDSN Confirmation of Information Consistency (CIC) feedback—automated messages retailers send to confirm or reject product data—helping users quickly pinpoint specific attributes that need attention and eliminating the manual troubleshooting that often delays products from reaching the market. 'The GDSN can be difficult to manage,' said Danielle Mytrohovich, Product Experience Manager at KIND Snack Bars in a recent case study. 'One error can cause an entire submission to fail. Salsify helps us ensure information accuracy before we submit to the GDSN, which is a gamechanger.' Since implementing Salsify, KIND has experienced a 10% sales lift, a +79% increase in average bullet point compliance, and a +33% increase in image compliance at one of their top retailer partners. Today's announcement caps a steady stream of recent investments for Salsify's global GDSN customers, including expanding support for GDSN local validation rules and attributes to Spain, Poland, Italy, Greece, Czechia, Sweden, and Finland. Unlike fragmented legacy solutions, Salsify was designed from the ground up as a unified platform, combining PIM, GDSN, DAM, Syndication, and Analytics. This approach eliminates data silos, empowering customers to centrally govern all product content from one trusted source of truth, automatically transform it for each trading partner's unique requirements, and efficiently manage information transfer to multiple recipients on a global scale. "For modern commerce, the importance of GDSN cannot be overstated – it's fundamental to ensuring products reach consumers efficiently and with reliable information," said Jens Weller, Director of Global GS1 at Salsify. "Manufacturers need to work faster and modernize their approach to managing data in this new, dynamic era of commerce. Interpreting CIC feedback is a perfect application for AI, enabling GDSN data stewards to embed AI directly into their toolset through FeedbackIQ."

5 Things You Overspend a Little On That Add Up Quickly
When you're trying to save money, focus first on cutting the biggest expenses from your budget. This is common sense. But it can be easy to overlook smaller purchases that can add up to big expenses. You hardly notice when it's just a few dollars here and there, but over time, that can turn into a lot of money — and, often, faster than you think. Learn More: Read Next: Here are five places where many people overspend little by little, often without even realizing it. It's so easy to add one more item to your cart. It can happen when you're shopping online or in a store. It's usually something small and inexpensive, which makes it seem trivial and easy to excuse. But when it happens repeatedly, these small extras can quietly eat away at your monthly budget and sabotage your savings. Brick-and-mortar stores know to place these low-cost items right by the checkout to get you to spend just a little more at the last minute. And it can be even harder to resist when you're shopping online. You're being hit with targeted ads, and that impulse buy is just a click away. To resist, make a shopping list before heading to the store and stick to it. Check Out: Brand loyalty can be expensive. In fact, according to Salsify, 87% of customers will pay more money to purchase an item from a brand they trust. That extra cost might not matter on a single item, but over a year of grocery runs and household shopping, it can total up to hundreds of unnecessary dollars. Many generic and store-brand products are made in the same facilities or use nearly identical ingredients. Name-brand medications contain the identical active ingredients that generics do but can cost 79% more, per Tebra. Try switching to some alternatives. You don't have to go all-or-nothing. Buy the generic versions one by one and test which ones you like. Convenience comes at a cost — and that cost builds up fast. This can be one of the biggest drains on your budget, and maybe one of the hardest to resist. Eating out is already more expensive than cooking at home. But delivery apps can also add a hefty fee. And often, the restaurant charges more for their delivery menu to cover the extra costs on their end. Plan your meals ahead of time each week, and then make shopping lists based on your meal plan. You can also cook larger batches so you have leftovers ready to go. When you have your next meal already waiting in your fridge, it's even more convenient than delivery. Mobile games and video games often rely heavily on 'microtransactions' to get extra money out of you. You might pay to remove ads, advance faster in the game or get cosmetic changes to your character. A few dollars here and there on game currency or cosmetic upgrades doesn't feel like much — until you realize how often you're doing it. Many games use psychological tactics like limited-time offers to encourage impulse spending, while virtual currencies disguise real costs, so that $0.99 for '100 gems' feels less like actual money. Some games keep adding new content or limited-time offers. Microtransactions are designed to be painless. That makes it easy to spend a little here and there without thinking about it too hard. But over time, those small charges add up. Try tracking these expenses for a month. You might be shocked to discover just how much you're spending each year on virtual items with no resale value. Retailers push extended warranties aggressively because they're extremely profitable — for them, not for you. They seem like a smart safety net. But more often than not, you're paying for coverage you'll never use. Most electronics already come with a warranty from the manufacturer, so additional coverage is redundant in many cases. Also, if you paid with a credit card, check your card's benefits. Often, you're protected there too. Instead of buying extended coverage, put the money you would have spent on the warranty in a dedicated account. If your device is out of warranty and breaks, pay for repairs out of this fund. This is like insuring yourself — and if you never need it, you keep the money.
