The last mile is yours.
Every WhatsChow order ends the same way — someone on a bike, crossing town with a stranger’s dinner still hot. The kitchen cooks it and the app takes the money, but nobody eats until a rider turns up. That part is the job.
Built so the rider is not the one absorbing the mess.
The food is paid for before you touch it
An order cannot be given to a rider until the payment has cleared. You are never sent across town to collect money at the door, and you are never the one arguing about it.
One order at a time
You will not be handed a second customer’s dinner while the first is still in your box. The system refuses to do it — not as a promise, as a rule it enforces.
Nothing to install
No rider app, no login, no tracker draining your battery all day. Operations calls the number you give us. That is the whole system.
You know the drop before you set off
The kitchen, the address and what you are carrying, before you start the engine. No mystery runs.
Short hops, hot food, streets you already know.
Kitchens set how far they are willing to send a rider, so the runs stay inside a radius rather than sprawling across the mainland. You get the kitchen, the address and the order before you move.
Bike
Most orders, most of the time.
Car
Party trays and long runs.
Foot
Short hops inside an estate.
One order at a time
Enforced by the system, not requested in a policy.
Paid before you collect
Every order, without exception.
Four steps, and a person on the other end of each one.
No form that disappears into nothing. You will be talking to the people running the pilot.
Say hello
Send us your name, the area you know best, and what you ride. One message is enough to start.
We check you out
A short conversation, a valid ID, and the phone number we will actually reach you on. We are careful about this — someone is trusting you with their dinner and their address.
Go on shift
Tell us you are working and you join the list operations assigns from. Tell us you are done and you come off it. No penalty for a day off.
Collect, deliver, get paid
Pick up from the kitchen, drop at the address, and it is logged against your name. We agree your rate with you before the first run — no surprises at the end of the week.
Short list.
Something to ride
A bike is the norm. A car works for the big party orders, and short runs on foot are fine.
A phone that stays on
This is how dispatch reaches you. It matters more than the bike.
A valid government ID
NIN, driver’s licence, voter’s card or passport.
Your area, properly
The shortcuts, the traffic, which gate is which. Nobody beats a rider who knows the street.
Care with the food
It arrives hot or it does not count. A bag that keeps heat in is worth what it costs.
Nothing else
No joining fee, no deposit, no minimum number of runs.
We are early, and we would rather you heard it from us.
WhatsChow is running a pilot: a small number of kitchens, a small number of riders, in Lagos. That means the volume is not there yet, and anyone promising you a full day of back-to-back runs from week one would be selling you something.
What it also means is that the first riders shape how this works — the rates, the radius, what a fair run looks like. If that is interesting to you rather than off-putting, get in touch.
Tell us your area and what you ride.
That is the whole application. Someone will come back to you — not an autoresponder.
