Chowdeck has hit a major milestone by completing over 100,000 deliveries in a single day for the first time. This achievement came during the company’s November Black Friday campaign.
Femi Aluko, Co-founder and CEO, shared the news on Friday, November 13, revealing that Chowdeck had even surpassed the numbers from the previous week’s Black Friday promotion. Earlier that week, he had predicted they could reach this milestone and called the upcoming campaign their biggest yet.
“Chowdeck has surpassed 100k deliveries in one day for the first time ever. It happened during the Black Friday today. We have now officially crossed our numbers from last week’s Black Friday!” he said.
This record follows a successful first Black Friday promotion on November 6, when Chowdeck managed over 73,000 orders in one day, setting a record for the company and the logistics sector. Aluko mentioned that the company aims to be the first on-demand delivery service in West and East Africa to achieve 100,000 deliveries in a single day within one country.
Weekly discounts helped drive the record for Chowdeck
Chowdeck aimed for a major goal with its campaign called Project 100K, making every Friday in November a special Black Friday event. They offered discounts, vouchers, and other deals to customers across the platform. To access some of these offers, customers needed to sign up, and there were limited spots available.
Before the latest promotion, Aluko said that the company had given out over 50,000 vouchers worth ₦2,000 during the previous week’s campaign. They also added 2,500 more vouchers for the upcoming round.
The idea behind Chowdeck’s approach was to get customers to come back each Friday instead of cramming all the discounts into a single Black Friday. The campaign included not just restaurant meals but also groceries and everyday items, showing how the company has grown beyond just food delivery.
From 30 million deliveries to a new daily record
In October, the startup announced that it had successfully delivered over 100 million items through more than 30 million deliveries since it started in 2021. Aluko said that 80% of those deliveries took place in just the last 20 months.
The company has also been expanding its grocery sector. In June, it delivered groceries worth over ₦1.5 billion, which made up 11% of its overall business at that time.

Founded in October 2021 by Aluko, Lanre Yusuf, and Olumide Ojo, Chowdeck operates in Nigeria and Ghana, connecting customers with restaurants, grocery vendors, and other businesses.
In August 2025, the company raised $9 million in a Series A funding round led by Novastar Ventures and Y Combinator to help fuel its growth.
Reaching over 100,000 deliveries in a single day shows how much the platform has grown. However, maintaining this delivery volume will depend on the capability of its network of riders, restaurants, grocery vendors, and operational teams to meet demand while ensuring timely deliveries and a positive customer experience.
