The Economics of Food Delivery in Kenya
Understanding the economics of food delivery helps you make smarter consumer choices. Here is the breakdown.
Restaurant Pricing
A KES 800 restaurant meal includes: food (KES 200), overhead (KES 250), labour (KES 150), profit (KES 200).
PlatePoa Pricing
Our KES 600 meal includes: food (KES 220), overhead (KES 100), labour (KES 80), delivery (KES 100), profit (KES 100).
The Difference
By eliminating restaurant overhead and cooking in bulk, we deliver more food value per shilling.
Your Benefit
Restaurant-quality food at home-cooking prices. That is the PlatePoa value proposition.
