Chowdeck
On-demand food delivery for Africa
What they do
People in African cities struggle to quickly and reliably order meals from a variety of restaurants with fast doorstep delivery.
Chowdeck is an on-demand food delivery marketplace that lets customers order from listed restaurants and dispatches riders to deliver meals, often within 30 minutes.
Consumers ordering restaurant meals and restaurants seeking delivery and growth support use the platform.
