01.01 Describe your startup in more detail

A food delivery service for university students across Nigeria and African universities. We partner with university restaurants to deliver meals to students classrooms and hostels.

01.02 What is the main problem you are trying to solve?

Time wastage and long queues. A student spends an average of 45 minutes to an hour going down to a restaurant to buy food, eat, and head back to classes or hostels, we are reducing that time to 25 minutes which is how long it takes us to deliver the meals.

01.03 Tell us the major benefits and/or advantages of using the product/service that your startup provides (at least 3).

1, We save 20 minutes of a student time each day our platform is used. In a week that is 1hr 40mins. 2, We solve the problem of missing classes and appointments because of food, students can stay in class while the food comes to their doorstep. 3, We generate more revenue for our restaurant partners, instead of loosing customers due to their busy schedules, once a student places order the restaurant makes money.
