The problem

Where food businesses lose orders

Screenshot menus Nobody can read your PDF A blurry menu screenshot means five back and forth messages before anybody orders anything.
Wrong orders Typed orders get mixed up Tap-to-order removes the guesswork about quantity, size and which branch.
Chasing payment Food goes out unpaid Riders leave before money lands and you spend the evening chasing transfers that never come.
Double bookings Two groups, one table Reservations in a WhatsApp group and a notebook clash at exactly the wrong moment on Saturday night.
Quiet weekdays No way to fill Tuesday You have thousands of past customers and no way to reach them with today’s special.
No reviews Happy customers say nothing They loved the food and never told Google, so the shop down the road outranks you.
The journey

An order taken, paid and dispatched in one thread

Rider: Musa, 0803 000 0000.
The menu is tappable A list message shows today’s items with naira prices, so nobody asks what is available.
Payment clears first The order only prints in the kitchen once the transfer or card payment is confirmed.
They know where the food is Dispatch and rider details are sent automatically, so nobody calls the restaurant to ask.
Customer journey

From hungry to reordering

01 They find you Instagram, TikTok or Google. One tap opens WhatsApp with your menu already loading.
02 They order Tappable menu, quantities, branch and delivery address confirmed without a single phone call.
03 They pay Payment link in chat, receipt in chat, and the kitchen ticket only opens once it clears.
04 They eat Dispatch notice, rider name and number, then a message when the order is delivered.
05 They come back A review request after the meal, and the Friday special sent to everyone who ordered this month.
The benefit

What the kitchen and the front of house gain

Nigerian chef and restaurant manager coordinating an order
Nobody is glued to the phone The agent handles delivery fees, opening hours and menu questions so your staff handle food. Cash is collected upfront No more chasing transfers after the rider has already left with the food. Quiet nights get busy One broadcast to past customers at 4pm on a Friday moves more covers than a week of posting. You see what sells Orders by item, branch and channel, so you cook what people actually buy.

Questions

What restaurant owners ask us

Can it handle more than one branch? Yes. Customers pick the branch, and the order, payment and rider details route to that branch only.
Does it work with my POS? Orders can be exported or pushed to Google Sheets, and we integrate with common Nigerian POS tools on request.
What about reservations? Table availability, group size and a deposit for large bookings, all in chat with a reminder on the day.
