Food brands without SMS are losing repeat customers

Food is habitual — people eat every day. But they'll order from whoever reminds them first.

14 days

before customers try a competitor if you don't re-engage

Food ordering is highly competitive. Without weekly SMS offers, your customers default to whoever pops up first on their phone.

6pm-9pm

is peak food purchase time in Nigeria — most brands miss it

Sending a "Friday evening offer" SMS at 6pm drives 3x more orders than a morning email. Timing is everything.

80%

of food customers only order once without retention

A first-time customer costs 5x more to acquire than to retain. Without an automated follow-up system, most of your ad spend is wasted.

Use Cases

SMS flows built for Food & Beverage

Every automated touch-point your store needs, running 24/7 without you.

A/B test message variants to find what drives most orders

Real-time order status keeps customers happy

For food delivery, customers are anxious about their order. Proactive SMS updates reduce cancellations and support calls dramatically.
