Where restaurants in Africa buy food supplies
We built a marketplace platform where restaurants in Africa can order food supplies directly from farms and manufacturers without middlemen. Our product reduces the time and cost it takes restaurants to get ingredients by letting them click to order and receive deliveries within 24 hours.
We live and operate in Lagos, Nigeria. The company will remain based here after YC.
Lagos is the center of our restaurant customers and suppliers. Being local allows us to understand the supply chain challenges and build better logistics solutions tailored to African markets.
