Chow Central is building technology to disrupt the food industry in Nigeria. The goal is to profitably provide food to as many people as possible in record time. Chow Central has launched its first product "500chow". A delivery-only quick service restaurant that serves customers in record time. 500chow has 10x lower costs than traditional brick-and-mortar restaurants, and 10x more online orders. Our customers love us for our super fast and cheaper deliveries. We are able to do this by launching hyper-locally within a 3km radius. We are very focused on solving real problems in the food industry one scalable product at a time.
