JAN (Pty) Ltd

JAN, the culinary group of Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen

JAN (Pty) Ltd is the business structure that brings together the activity of chef Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen, recognized with a Michelin star. The site janonline.com serves as the group's central platform: from it, reservations for its restaurants and venues are managed, editorial content is published, and selected products are sold.

Restaurants and venues of the group

The culinary offering is articulated around several clearly differentiated establishments on the site:

• Restaurant JAN, the chef's main restaurant.
• Le Bistrot de Jan, Nice, the group's offering in France.
• Le Bistrot de Jan, Cape Town, the namesake venue in South Africa.
• JAN Franschhoek, linked to the town of Franschhoek.
• JAN Voyage, a line of experience or travel offering from the group.

The site allows reservations at any of these restaurants and venues.

Publications and editorial content

The group maintains an editorial side through JAN the Journal, its own publication that at the time of analysis was presented in its volume 16 and can be purchased by subscription. The site also offers recipe sections, both for preparing at home and under the concept "Forage and Feast", and a space for stories or narratives, with its own newsletter.

Home and kitchenware shop

The group's online shop organizes its catalog into categories such as antiques, bakeware, bath and body, bookshop, candles, ceramics, crockery, crystal and glass, cutlery, décor, garden, the JAN collection, kitchen tools, kitchen wear, linen and lappies, print collection, spens, vouchers, and wine. Among the specific items appearing in the catalog is a JAN pie tart mould. The shop operates with currency selection (ZAR, USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, CHF, CNY, and HKD) and features user login and shopping cart.

Foundation and other initiatives

The group has its own foundation, prominently featured in the site's navigation, in addition to the travel and contact sections.
