NAIROBI, Kenya, Nov 6 – Bolt Food has introduced a new feature that allows users to order meals in advance.
Under this, customers can pre-order food and place it for delivery even when restaurants are fully booked, closed, or in high demand.
The startup said that the new solution optimizes restaurant orders, boosts revenue, and makes meal preparation efficient.
“The feature allows restaurants to optimise order management and kitchen preparation, couriers to increase their earnings by strategically planning deliveries throughout the day, and customers to enjoy their favourite restaurant meals through Bolt Food, all at their preferred time and location. Since we launched, there has been a 20% uptick in orders utilising this feature,” Edgar Kitur, Country Manager, Bolt Food, said.
Amid growing demand, the food delivery firm has introduced 24/7 delivery services on weekends.
“In response to the increasing demands of customers and the growing need for restaurant deliveries, Bolt Food has also introduced 24/7 delivery services on weekends,” Bolt added in a statement.
“Bolt Food has collaborated with over 40 providers on the platform to ensure that Kenyans have access to more delivery options, particularly after midnight. The primary restaurant partners offering these services are Piri Piri Barbecue, Chowpaty, Pizza Hut and Evry.Day Mart.”
Currently, Bolt Food has over 1,500 restaurants on its platform, and it provides earning opportunities to over 4000 couriers in Nairobi and its metropolis.
