FoodHutz expands operations to Nigeria

FoodHutz, an emerging food tech platform, has expanded its operations to Nigeria.

The company is headquartered in London and now fully operational in Lagos.

The company said it is setting its sights on further expansion across Nigeria’s major cities with upcoming features such as group ordering, vendor loyalty programmes, and Google-integrated real-time tracking.

The statement further revealed that the firm started operating in South London with a single rider delivering meals from five local restaurants in Streatham, Brixton, and Croydon and has evolved into a cross-continental network.

The statement read: “Today, FoodHutz is connecting customers, vendors, and riders in a seamless food delivery ecosystem tailored for African communities at home and abroad. In Nigeria, where global food apps often overshadow local businesses, FoodHutz is redefining the model.

“By centring traditional food vendors from roadside bukas to modern Afro-fusion kitchens, the platform supports local economies with low commissions, free digital marketing, and custom vendor profiles. In cities like Lagos, every plate of jollof, suya, or amala delivered isn’t just a transaction; it’s an act of economic empowerment.”

The firm added that it eliminates the need for customers to download a mobile app, saying that its One-Click Order system allows users to find restaurants directly through Google, click “Order Online”, and check out in seconds.

According to FoodHutz, the app offers a modern service to a tech-savvy audience, particularly in Nigeria, where speed and simplicity are paramount. It added, “But FoodHutz offers more than convenience; it offers connection. For members of the Nigerian diaspora, especially in the UK, the platform enables the delivery of fresh meals to loved ones back home in real time.

“For many, it transforms dinner into a deeply personal gesture, one that transcends distance. It’s not just a delivery; it’s a reunion,” the stated added.

The company added that its impact also extends to the people behind the deliveries. It noted that its rider-first approach emphasises fair pay, safety, and efficiency: “For small vendors, it’s more than a delivery app; it’s a platform for growth, complete with paid advertising and social media storytelling that amplifies their voice in a competitive market.”
