Chowdeck, Africa’s leading on-demand delivery platform, has reached a major milestone – 1 million customer orders a month – underscoring its rapid growth, strong market position and its pivotal role in driving the convenience economy on the continent.
Chowdeck is the first African on-demand delivery platform to reach this milestone, cementing its status as a household name for fast, reliable delivery – connecting customers across Nigeria and Ghana to their favourite meals and essentials at the tap of a button.
What began as a small team with a simple goal in October 2021 – to make quality food seamlessly accessible at the tap of a button – has evolved into a continent-leading logistics and technology platform powering tens of thousands of daily deliveries for consumers and various merchants alike.
Speaking on the milestone, Femi Aluko, CEO and co-founder of Chowdeck, said, “Reaching 1 million orders a month this quickly is a powerful reflection of how far we’ve come. It is a testament to the hard work of our riders and restaurant partners, as well as the commitment of our customers. As we look to the future, we are excited by the opportunity to deepen access and convenience for millions of Africans and unlock new possibilities for customers and businesses alike”.
From logistics and inventory management to payment and performance tools, Chowdeck has emerged as a trusted partner for food businesses, retailers, merchants and consumers, offering fast, reliable and affordable delivery.
With 1.5 million existing users and more than 20,000 riders across 11 cities, Chowdeck’s tech-enabled logistics network powers businesses to fulfil orders efficiently, while offering customers a seamless platform to access meals, groceries, and everyday essentials.
Chowdeck’s growth is underpinned by its commitment to leaner operations, hyperlocal strategies and diversified offerings. In 2024, the value of meals delivered via the Chowdeck platform grew more than sixfold compared to the previous year. The company has already exceeded last year’s total and is firmly on track for another record-breaking year in 2025.
