A group of Nigerian entrepreneurs has unveiled a new food delivery platform called ChefCook.NG, in Lagos.

While unveiling the new platform in Ikeja, Lagos, recently, the group stated that with the innovation the platform brings to the Nigerian food delivery space, Nigerians need to know more about ChefCook, the services it brings to the marketplace, and why it should be chosen above other food delivery platforms in Nigeria.

At the unveiling ceremony in Lagos anchored by Nollywood top actor and director, Charles Okafor, the Chief Executive Officer of the company, JohnBosco Onyeme, told journalists that the platform is a unique one as it offers opportunities to every restaurateur, no matter how small in Lagos, to showcase their services on the platform.

According to Onyeme, “We are unique. We are not just after the big restaurants with our services, we want the Suya man in the street; the Amala woman, and even that Akara woman in the street to come on board. We want those people who don’t have any person to talk to them, those who don’t have the money to advertise largely to come on board the ChefCook food delivery platform.

“We are not a restaurant but a platform where restaurants can have their menu advertised for consumers. So, what we do is that through the onboarding process, we educate them on how to use the platform because it is important they understand how to use the platform.

“And we help them upload their menu on our platform, where we are different from others.”

Onyeme, who disclosed that the restaurant owners will not be charged any fee to come on board, noted that another unique feature of ChefCook is that the prices the restaurant operators sell their food in their shops are the same price they are going to sell online, “unlike other food platforms, where prices vary between the physical shops and the online platforms.”

He promised health insurance, great outlook, and other fantastic benefits for their runners (food distributors), adding that the company would deliver food at the buyers’ doorsteps in a record time of 40 minutes maximum in any part of Lagos State “’as e dey hot’.”
