Craving something delicious in Abuja and don’t want to wait ages? With the right app and strategy you can have good food at your door in under 30 minutes. Below we’ll walk you through exactly how with Wakafoods Express, your local food-delivery champion.
1. Choose the Right Food Delivery App
When you want speed, you must pick an app that covers lots of vendors in your area. In Abuja the big players are:
- Glovo – broad coverage, many restaurant types.
- Chowdeck – good speed, solid menu variety.
- Wakafoods Express – focused on Abuja; local vendors, fast service, great deals.
Because you’re in Abuja, using Wakafoods Express gives you an edge: local vendors, personal service, and promos made for you.
2. Set Up Your Profile & Location Accurately
Steps:
- Download the app (search Wakafoods Express in the app store).
- Verify your mobile number or email.
- Enter your address, estate or area (for example: Garki, Wuse, Maitama, Asokoro, Gwarinpa).
- Save a payment method (card or cash on delivery).
Why this matters: If your location is vague, the vendor won’t find you. When you mark it correctly, we route the closest rider and your order arrives faster.
3. Browse & Pick Your Meal Smartly
List of popular meal types in Abuja:
- Street-food staples: suya skewer, jollof rice, pounded yam and egusi.
- Fast food: pizza, burgers, fries.
- Healthy options: salads, smoothies.
- Home-kitchen style meals (Wakafoods has several local cooks).
Table: Speed vs. menu type
| Meal Type | Typical Preparation Time | Why Choose It for Speed |
|---|---|---|
| Street Food (suya, local meals) | ~10–15 minutes | Simple dishes, fast prep |
| Fast Food (pizza, burgers) | ~12–20 minutes | Standard kitchen operations |
| Home-Kitchen Style | ~15–25 minutes | Some local vendors ready |
By choosing quicker meal types and vendors near you, you increase chance of “under 30 minutes” delivery.
4. Use the App Features to Accelerate Your Order
- Apply any promo codes (Wakafoods often runs deals).
- Use filters to sort by “Nearest”, “Fastest Delivery”, or “Top Rated”.
- Select “Express Delivery” if available.
- Confirm your address and phone number before checkout.
All these steps help remove delays and make the rider’s job easier.
5. Track Your Delivery & Get Ready
After placing the order:
- Watch the live map or status update in the app.
- Make sure your phone is nearby in case the rider calls.
- Have your porch or door ready so you don’t slow things down.
With Wakafoods Express, many users in central Abuja zones report delivery in 20-30 minutes – meaning you get your meal while it’s still fresh and hot.
