Chow is one
message away.
WhatsChow turns an ordinary WhatsApp chat into a complete food order — find a kitchen that is open, pay, and follow the rider. Nothing to download, no account to create, no password to forget.
One order, both sides of it — Morenikeji ordering dinner, and Kenny’s Kitchen accepting the ticket with a single digit.

What you can count on
Average time from first message to a paid order: under 3 minutes
Four messages. That is the whole checkout.
Say what you want
Message the WhatsChow number in English or Pidgin — “abeg find me jollof near me” works fine. Send a voice note if typing is stress.
Pick from what is actually open
You only ever see kitchens that are open right now and within delivery range. Reply with a number to choose.
Pay in the same chat
A secure payment link lands in the thread. The kitchen is told to start cooking the second the payment clears, and status updates come back to you.
What Nigeria is ordering tonight
These are the six shortcuts on the welcome menu. Reply with a number and the assistant takes it from there.
Jollof rice
Party pot, smoky bottom
Shawarma
Double sausage, extra sauce
Chicken & chips
Crispy, peppered on request
Soup & swallow
Egusi, ogbono, pounded yam
Suya & grills
Off the coal, wrapped hot
Pastries & snacks
Meat pie, puff puff, small chops
Ordered from a sofa. Eaten at a table.
No queue, no counter, no app to open. The whole thing happens in a chat you already had open.
Sunday afternoon, nobody wants to cook.
Lunch ordered between two meetings.
One person counts heads, sends one chat.
Twenty-five minutes later, still hot.
The only part we cannot do for you.
Built for the way Nigeria already orders food
Nobody wants a fifth delivery app. Everybody already has WhatsApp open. We built the ordering rail on top of that instead of fighting it.
It understands how you actually talk
Nigerian English, Pidgin, half-sentences, “wetin you get near Surulere”. No menu trees to climb.
Voice notes count as orders
Record it, send it, done. Audio is transcribed and treated like any other message.
Payment stays in the thread
Card, bank transfer or USSD — settled without you ever leaving the chat to check out.
Flat ₦500 delivery
One number, quoted before you confirm. No surge, no per-kilometre arithmetic.
Kitchens get a real back office
Orders, menu, payouts and reviews in one dashboard — or run the whole thing from WhatsApp.
A human when you need one
Ask for an agent and the thread is escalated to a person instead of looping you back to the bot.
Run the whole kitchen from the phone in your apron
You do not need a tablet on the counter or a staff member watching a screen. Text a command and the platform does the rest — or open the dashboard when you want the numbers.

Somebody still has to carry it.
The kitchen cooks and the chat takes the money, but nobody eats until a rider turns up. Ours carry one order at a time, on food that is already paid for, with the address in hand before they set off.
“I stopped printing flyers. People message the number, the order shows on my phone, and I just reply “1” to accept it.”
Morenikeji Hassan
Kenny’s Kitchen · Ibadan
“I text “closed” when the last pot is finished and the orders stop dead. Nobody rings me at midnight asking for rice any more.”
Kehinde Korede
Ìwòyè Kitchen · Abuja
“No app, no password, no “verify your email”. I sent a voice note at 11pm and the food came before midnight.”

Hungry now, or cooking for others?
Customers start a chat. Kitchens and administrators sign in to the dashboard. Same platform, two doors.
