A local Nigerian food vendor, Amoke Oge, has achieved a major milestone by surpassing ₦2.3 billion in revenue after completing 500,000 deliveries on Chowdeck, one of Nigeria’s leading food delivery platforms.
This remarkable achievement was announced by Chowdeck on May 20, 2025, highlighting the vendor’s success in leveraging digital platforms to expand her business. According to Chowdeck, the average order value for Amoke Oge’s deliveries was ₦4,600, a testament to the growing appetite for local cuisine and the effectiveness of online marketplaces in the country.
Amoke Oge, owned by Hajia Amoke Odukoya, was among the first 100 vendors to join Chowdeck about two to three years ago. She has now become the first woman-led business on the platform to reach half a million deliveries. Chowdeck’s CEO, Femi Aluko, personally congratulated Odukoya on the achievement, which shows the significance of this milestone for women entrepreneurs in Nigeria.
“Amoke Oge just became the first woman-led business to hit 500,000 deliveries on Chowdeck , with an average order value of ₦4,600. We’ll let you do the math,” Chowdeck shared in a celebratory post on X (formerly Twitter).
This announcement follows another vendor success story on Chowdeck. Just a week earlier, Korede Spaghetti, a popular vendor at the University of Lagos (UNILAG), crossed the ₦1 billion mark in processed food sales on the platform. Korede, the owner, credited Chowdeck for solving “80% of our logistics problems,” which enabled his business to expand beyond the university community and reach a broader customer base.
In October 2024, the company announced it had crossed ₦30 billion in total deliveries for the year and surpassed one million registered users, up from just 319 in its first month of operation. The platform currently operates in eight Nigerian states, serves over 3,000 vendors, and works with more than 10,000 delivery riders.
Earlier in 2024, Chowdeck raised $2.5 million in seed funding to fuel its expansion, attracting notable investors such as Y Combinator, Goodwater Capital, and the co-founders of Rappi and Paystack. The company has also recently launched operations in Ghana, introducing referral schemes and tiered rewards to attract new customers.
This milestone highlights the immense potential of technology-driven solutions in unlocking opportunities within Nigeria’s informal economy. With continued innovation and strategic expansion, Chowdeck is poised to redefine food commerce across West Africa, inspiring a new generation of business owners to dream bigger and achieve more.
