Ever woken up after a big night, craving spicy chicken but unable to face the thought of cooking, or waiting ages for delivery? Nando’s gets it – and with Party Now, PERi Later, you can now make the most of their enhanced pre-order feature, letting you plan your next-day recovery with more flexibility than ever before.
Launching just in time to get you through December festivities, this brilliantly convenient function lets people plan tomorrow’s PERi-PERi feast while still enjoying tonight’s vibe. “A lot of people, the morning after a really big night, always go for spicy chicken,” says Fumani Khumalo, Creative Group Head at VML South Africa, the agency that developed the Nando’s app. “That made us think – Nando’s has an array of PERi-PERi items on their menu. They should be the obvious choice. So, how can we make it easier for people to get their morning-after Nando’s fix?”
The result: a pre-order feature that makes it easy for partygoers and late-night explorers to plan ahead.
“Think of it as an act of self-care,” says Nontobeko Sibiya, Marketing Manager: Communications at Nando’s. “After a night out, there’s nothing better than kicking back and reliving the night’s best moments. With this feature, you can do just that—plan ahead, relax, and let us take care of the rest.”
How the Nando’s “Party Now, PERi Later” Feature Works
“We want people to be able to order chicken mid-groove; mid-second location – or even from the Uber on the way home or on the way out,” says VML Executive Creative Director Nhlanhla Ngcobo.
To order, simply fire up the Nando’s app, choose your favourites off the menu, set the delivery address and time, or choose to collect it yourself, and voilà – spicy sustenance will arrive just when you need it most. Whether it’s a classic ¼ Chicken and Chips, a Cabo Sosatie Snack Platter for all the housemates to share, or cheesy Festa Fries, you can collect, or let Nando’s deliver the comfort you’ll be craving. With Nando’s signature PERi-Ometer, you can turn your mild morning into an Xtra Hot one.
1. Plan Your Feast: While you’re jolling, browse the app and pick your order.
2. Set It and Forget It: Choose your time and location for delivery or collection if that’s more your vibe
3. Wake Up to Deliciousness: As soon as you’re up, your PERi-PERi chicken order will be too.
