About Grubby.city
Grubby.city is a food commerce platform connecting customers, restaurants, home chefs, drivers and corporate meal programs — city by city across Africa.
Our mission
We believe every African city deserves a food network that works the way people actually eat — quick restaurant orders, weekly meal plans, neighbourhood home chefs and reliable team lunches, all in one place.
Most platforms treat Africa as one market. We do the opposite: we build for the specific city, with the restaurants, chefs and drivers who live in it.
What we do
Grubby.city brings together everything food on a single platform:
- On-demand delivery from local restaurants
- Weekly and monthly meal subscriptions
- A marketplace for home chefs and private kitchens
- Corporate meal programs for teams and offices
- Driver tools for delivery partners
- An admin layer for city operators and partner brands
Customers get more choice. Restaurants and home chefs get more orders. Drivers get more reliable earnings. Companies get one bill for everything their team eats.
How we build
We expand city by city, partnering locally with:
- Independent restaurants ready to grow online
- Home chefs cooking the food their neighbourhoods love
- Delivery partners earning on flexible schedules
- Companies feeding their teams reliably
Every new city launches with its own catalog, pricing, drivers and operations team — not a copy-paste of another market.
What we believe
Local first
The best food in any city is already being cooked there. Our job is to make it easier to discover, order and deliver — not to replace it.
Operator-led
Each city is led by a local operations team that knows the streets, the kitchens and the customers. Headquarters supports them, not the other way around.
Fair for partners
Restaurants, home chefs and drivers should understand exactly what they earn and what it costs to be on the platform. No hidden mark-ups, no surprise deductions.
Built to last
We optimise for the next ten years, not the next quarter. Sustainable unit economics in every city we operate.
Where we operate
Grubby.city launches in cities, not countries. Each city has its own local catalog, drivers and pricing.
You can see the current list of live and upcoming cities on the Cities page.
The team
We are a small, distributed team of engineers, operators, designers and city launchers — most of whom have built and run food, logistics or commerce businesses across Africa and beyond.
