Chowdeck says vendors on its platform processed ₦1.4 billion in orders during the four-day Black Friday weekend across Nigeria and Ghana.
The company shared the numbers in a detailed blog post and supported them with a public real-time dashboard that tracked orders, revenue, rider distance and delivery times throughout the event.
Across the weekend, customers placed more than 183,000 orders, while riders covered 727,000 kilometres.
Some riders earned as much as ₦205,000, making it one of the highest earning windows for the platform.
Chowdeck described the performance as its strongest Black Friday yet, noting that many vendors achieved their highest single-day and single-week sales.
The company also shared the goal behind the event.
“We set an ambitious goal: process 50,000 orders on launch day,” Chowdeck wrote.
The final volume went far beyond that target.
Why This Performance Signals A Shift In West Africa’s Delivery Market
The results highlight the growing scale of food delivery in West Africa. Many local platforms have struggled with logistics constraints, inconsistent demand and rising operational costs.
However, Chowdeck remained stable throughout the surge, which suggests that its recent upgrades in routing, batching and merchant-management tools are paying off.
The public dashboard added another layer of transparency. Vendors and customers could see system load, rider activity and delivery trends in real time.
This visibility has started to build trust in a market where delivery delays and unexpected app outages are still common.
How Customers, Vendors And Riders Benefited
Customers in major cities across Nigeria and Ghana relied on the platform for discounted meals, faster delivery and more predictable order tracking.
Restaurants, cloud kitchens and small food vendors saw increased traffic and record payouts as order volume spiked.
Riders benefited directly. Many took advantage of the surge, earning significantly more than on regular weekends.
What Comes Next As Chowdeck Builds On The Momentum
Chowdeck plans to expand city coverage and introduce more automation to vendor and rider tools.
The company says insights from the Black Friday weekend will shape upcoming product updates as it prepares for future large-scale events.
Key metrics to watch include new city launches, merchant onboarding, delivery-time improvements and how the company adapts its operations to support rising demand across the region.
