Tell me if this sounds familiar:

You’ve had a hectic day at work. So hectic that you ate lunch at your desk while frantically trying to meet a deadline. Then it started raining, which means that traffic is going to be a nightmare.

Here’s the catch – you agreed to dinner with the in-laws and you’re in charge of bringing the wine, but that crazy day was part of a crazy week and you haven’t had a chance to stop at the bottle store. Did I mention that traffic is a nightmare?

Here’s another one:

It’s winter in Cape Town, which means that the weather is about as predictable as your odds of winning the lottery, so you didn’t make any weekend braai plans. Now it’s Saturday morning, the sun is shining, and the game is on.

Not only do you have people coming over in half an hour, but you don’t have enough beer, brandy, Coke or snacks to keep them all happy.

These are just a few of the ways you could get caught unprepared when it comes to hosting or being a good guest – and you don’t want to be that person.

Luckily, we live in the 21^st century which means there’s an app for that, and that app is Quench.

Quench is a convenient mobile app that helps you order alcohol and have it delivered straight to your door, or wherever you may be.

You can choose from a range of beer, wine, spirits and more, including soft drinks, snacks and other products, then make payment directly through the app.

Once that’s done, a Quench driver will bring your order to your front door – or wherever you are. There’s a delivery fee of R25, which is a small price to pay for convenience – especially because Quench offers bottle store prices without the hassle of having to fight for parking outside your local.

Better yet, your first delivery is free – what are you waiting for?

They also have you covered for braai essentials like Blitz, charcoal, ice, cigarettes and chips, meaning that last minute get-togethers can be organised from the comfort of your couch. No more missing the start of the game to run to the shops.

Even better, use the promo code below, QUENCH100, to get R100 off your next order (for the first 1 000 orders only, so make haste).

Sorted.

Don’t be that mug who hops in the car after a few toots to pick up reinforcements, or tries to zip off from the bottle store without paying the car guard for your parking.

Open app, order dops, sit back and relax – now you’re living.
