The food delivery service will make SafeBoda compete holistically with Jumia food that controls the food delivery market. It will also compete with OFood and other independent vendors in Nigeria and Kenya.
The food delivery service section of the app will feature diverse street vendors and local food restaurants in Uganda. Images of meal and menu will also be available on the platform.
Users can order their meal by clicking on the food option. Proceed to Order Food to get the meal icon where they can add to the chart. The new update also gives the option for cashless payment and on delivery cash payment.
