A Nigerian food vendor has shocked many by achieving over ₦2.3 billion in sales through Chowdeck, a local food delivery platform. This incredible milestone proves that digital platforms can open doors for small businesses, especially in the food sector. 

What started as a regular local hustle — likely with a few pots, loyal customers, and homemade recipes — has now become a powerful example of how technology, passion, and consistency can transform a small food business into a thriving brand. 

The Role of Technology 

Chowdeck, often referred to as the “Nigerian Uber Eats,” has provided food vendors with the chance to go digital, attract new customers, and scale their operations faster than ever before. By simply leveraging this platform, the vendor was able to reach a wider audience, take orders efficiently, and build a business that now competes with major players. 

This success story encourages other small vendors to embrace digital tools and not be afraid to learn, adapt, and grow. 

Lessons Every Entrepreneur Can Learn

    Start with what you have – Big success can come from humble beginnings.
