John has been a valuable asset for us at ComeDine. His insight, not just in the hospitality industry, has helped us
make critical decisions that have done us well on each occasion. John's enthusiasm for his work helps to pick up
others around him, and the energy with which he approaches each task compels others to follow suit.
We are amazed at John's artful use of metaphors to explain complex ideas in a simple way. This has helped us close deals that might have otherwise been lost. No metaphor is necessary when we say that John would be an asset to any company. He delivers the extraordinary when the ordinary is only expected.

"When I headed up the stationery and office products industry trade association I worked with Rob on more than
one occasion to deliver training, present at conferences and offer consulting. He is a retail guru who delivers
ground-changing guidance in a manner that manages to be both professional and extremely entertaining. Most
of all his advice is immediately practical and translates into sustainable bottom line results. Rob is a walk-the-talk
expert, and not just another talk-the-talk presenter." April 14, 2011

As founders and owners of a health juice bar concept, with three branches in Cape Town, getting told that our
brand was "arb" was a bitter pill to swallow.
But it was the beginning of a rejuvenation of Osumo, started and driven by John Sanei.
John's frank, honest approach certainly gets results. He asks all the right questions, to get one thinking and into action. John is energetic, dynamic and passionate about making a difference to a business. He set out to refresh Osumo and the outcome speaks for itself.
He was instrumental in the implementation of a new menu, as well as a crisp, revived look and feel in the stores. His strategy and roll out worked so well and not only has the customer feedback and appreciation been amazing, but there has also been a 20% increase in our turnover.
The experience John has in the hospitality industry combined with his positive approach, focus and commitment, made even the most reluctant and resistant to change owners, us, think outside the box. John has helped us create the platform from which our brand can now be taken to a new level.
All credit to John, thank you- Osumo is fresh and flourishing!
