Foodies in the Egbeda, Ajah, Sangotedo, Festac, Satellite Town, Ikotun, Ojodu, and Ogba areas of Lagos can now order food in the comfort of their homes and offices via the popular Bolt Food app.
Bolt Food is the food delivery arm of a leading mobility platform, Bolt. The business arm of the firm was launched in Lagos in 2021.
In a statement obtained by Business Post, Bolt Food said its expansion into the inner cities of Lagos was in fulfilment of its “promise to continue providing easier access to daily essentials.”
With this development, residents of these areas would have access to “competitively affordable and efficient food delivery service,” as its restaurant partners will also enjoy a boost in sales and profit.
Bolt Food boasts over 1,000 restaurants on its platform in areas like Ikoyi, Victoria Island, Lekki, Yaba, Surulere, Ilupeju, Gbagada, and Ikeja.
“Our goal is to connect every Nigerian to a service that provides effortless and affordable access to daily essentials.
“Since we launched Bolt Food in Lagos, we have received positive feedback from our users and partners alike. We think it is time to extend this service to everyone who wants to order food from their favourite restaurants and receive it quickly and safely at their homes or offices.
“This expansion is also part of our commitment to augment earning opportunities for Nigerians who are either couriers or restaurant partners that can benefit from our loyal customer base,” Bolt Food Manager, Sola Masha, said.
Users in the new areas can download the Bolt Food application on their smartphones to place an order. Bolt Food has an array of restaurants and available menu options to choose from.
The application also provides customers with various price ranges and an estimated delivery time. Payments can be made like the Bolt ride-hailing platform, and customers can specify the location for contactless delivery drop-offs upon order arrival.
Restaurants and couriers can sign up on the website food.bolt.eu. The Bolt Food expansion in Nigeria will help restaurants have a broader reach to customers, with Bolt acting as a reliable platform for affordable delivery and efficient service.
Bolt has built its mobility platform efficiently to offer the best service in all the sectors it operates in, including the food delivery space advancing the sector with innovation and technology.
