This here is actually brilliant. I can relate because when I first came to Lagos, I was squatting with some boys on campus, and I knew only two places to eat, which got old after a while.
Someone actually went and did the hard work of inventorising all the food combinations that food vendors in Unilag offer and has stuck it all into an ordering platform.
It's not the prettiest UI, but I'm a bit impressed at how granular and customisable the whole thing is. You can order another pack of food, and tweak its constituent elements, down to the drink you want, Chipotle style.
When you're done selecting, you get a price breakdown, so you're sure everything about your order is in order.
And once you are confirmed, you enter delivery details, and your food is shipped to you. Standard delivery costs N100
All we need now is for a Unilag student or someone who lives inside to come and test this, tell us if it actually works as advertised, as well as review the experience. The devil is in the details. But speaking of the details, this dude really knows what he's doing...
As you can see, the site doesn't work when you can't order food...it might seem obvious, but people around here don't pay attention to that sort of thing. AND if you look at the opening hours section, you'll see that you can't order food before 10am on Thursdays. That's because businesses in Unilag do not open until 10am on that day of the week -- mandatory environmental sanitation.
