Restaurant food
Your places, still hot
Food delivery works when it reaches the places people actually eat at, which are mostly not the ones with a marketing budget.
What you get
- Local restaurants, bukas and street-food vendors
- Live order status, from accepted to on the way
- One delivery fee, shown before you order
- Ratings from people in your own market
Ordinary places, not just the ones with a marketing budget
A delivery platform that only carries chains tells you very little about where to eat, because the places worth eating at in most African cities are small, local and have never had a listing anywhere. Vendors join as themselves and are rated by the neighbours who order from them.
The same riders
The rider bringing your food is the same rider who brings gas and groceries. One network, kept busy across every hour of the day, is what makes delivery affordable at all — a rider who only carries lunch is idle for twenty hours and somebody pays for that idleness.
Questions about restaurant food delivery
How long does food delivery take?
You see an estimated arrival time before you pay. It is worked out from the kitchen’s own preparation time plus the distance from them to your address, so it is specific to that order rather than a blanket promise. We record how often we meet it. After that the app shows the rider on the map rather than a countdown clock.
Can I order from more than one restaurant at once?
Each order goes to one vendor, because a rider collecting from two kitchens means the first meal is cold. Place them separately and they can arrive together.

Getting the app
Patride is on iOS and Android, rolling out market by market. If you want to be told when it opens where you are — or you sell restaurant food and want to be on it — the contact page is the way to say so.
