It is that day when you are home and too lazy to cook or walk to a restaurant for a meal, there is an online platform to sort you out.

And guess what? It’s now a mobile app and you don’t have to go searching on the web anymore.

 Just like many other businesses interact with clients online, the app is both on the android, apple and Windows app store. 

Ralf Wenzel, Global Managing Director of Hellofood, that gives you access to over 3,000 restaurants on the continent, says the development of the app marks another milestone for the company. 

"We have noticed the immense growth of mobile in all our markets and have used all our experience and knowledge to develop the most convenient food delivery app. The future of food ordering is mobile and we are best positioned to be the clear frontrunner,” he says. 

This mobile application allows customers to see recommended local restaurants and to select from thousands of dishes for delivery and take-away.

Menus come with food pictures and restaurants carry customer reviews and ratings. In addition to that, Hellofood offers exclusive deals and special offers from a large variety of restaurants. 

Returning users can access their order history for fast and convenient re-order. Furthermore the app allows users to customise their meals just like in the restaurant by choosing, replacing or adding their toppings of choice. 

The fully custom-built next generation app demonstrates consistency and convenience across every step of the food ordering process. It is clear, sharp and without a doubt, more beautiful.

Edin Memisevic, head of mobile application attributes the design of the app to great feedback from clients. 

"We have been listening to our customers’ feedback and we worked hard to meet and exceed their expectations. It was a very thought-through process of trial and error: we experimented, compared, analysed and finally we reinvented our app. I am certain our customers will be pleasantly surprised with this change. The design has been developed and adjusted in order to improve, sharpen and perfect the overall experience,” he said as a word of encouragement. 

The good about this app 

After using it for some time, it is customised to suit your taste of food and restaurants. You will no longer have to browse so many times. It is very user friendly and quick to navigate. This app works in 40 countries in Africa and when you are in any of these forty, then you can get your order.

The bad part of it 

It isn’t exactly as cheap as Whatsapp. If you have very little credit left on your phone, you wouldn’t want to spend it ordering then half way you are left with no airtime and an incomplete order. 

Bottom-line, this app gives you a quicker and better way of ordering for food from anywhere at any time.
