The same can be done for food too. You can pick your phone, check out a couple of restaurants, their menus and order your favorite dishes without leaving the couch. The best part: it gets delivered to your doorsteps within minutes and you can pay on delivery.

You can then proceed to select a restaurant, select the food you like, pay, and it would be delivered to your doorstep. Jumia Food has a very wide database and directory of restaurants, so you can be sure to find whatever dish you want.
2. OFood
OFood stands for Opera Foods and is operated by Opera Software.

4. Konga
While Konga doesn’t deliver goods or have a directory of restaurants customers can order from, the Nigeria e-commerce giant does sell and deliver fresh fruits and vegetables. You can buy them online from the Fruit and Vegetable section of the platform’s website and app.
5. AreaChops
AreaChops also operates based on OFood and Jumia Food’s model. Visit the website or download the mobile app, enter your location, choose a restaurant from the list, select a meal you’d love to order, checkout and the god will be delivered to you. You can also choose to pay for your food on delivery. Asides from these platforms, there are restaurants with their individual app and websites which you can visit anytime to order food and deliver it to you. One advantage of using the above-mentioned platforms, however, is that they allow you access thousands of restaurants all in one app. Also, you get to compare prices and get the best deals.
