Hojah Mobile Application – Food Ordering App : Review and Suggestions

PS: No PR stunts are intended.

“You have absolutely no reason not to get whatsoever you want to
eat wherever you are except you’re on the moon or something”

That statement summarizes the motivation behind the
development of the mobile application called Hojah. In simple
words, Hojah lets you buy whatsoever you want from whoever you want
and you could have it delivered to you or kept for pick up at a
later time.

Call it a food-amazon or an ebay solely for food items and you are
getting the point.

For now, it’s only on the android platform

Many busy people feed on what is available around instead of what
conforms with their diet. They work so hard to earn and struggle to
purchase from sellers who would always wait for them to come and
spend their hard-earn money. Biologically, the need for food comes
with impulse behaviour, instead of going to buy, the sellers can
deliver it.

An app has been built with these refined notion, it knows the
location of a user and loads the closest sellers, giving them
options for taste and proximity to purchase decision.

With Hojah,

  • You can get food even if you’re very busy
  • Food sellers don’t have to have a shop to sell, they can
    sell from their houses since they are delivering thus offering more
    employment opportunities to people whose limitation has always been
    having a shop
  • It offers to show you restaurants around you when you’re
    visiting a place for a first time. It shows their menus and prices
    so you can decide which restaurant to go to thus saving time.

We launched the app in June this year and we presently need some critique, suggestions on the entire thingy.

Could you particularly help with suggestions on penetrating the
market, UI UX, overall feel of the app?

What do you guys think?

Hey.

I think you need to work on the delivery time and price per km section. The values I see there are not funny at all.

20 minutes per kilometre for a place 10km away from me? Are you sending the food on snails or something?

And then the delivery price too? Why would it cost 500 naira per kilometre to deliver a plate of cheap food?

Good luck guys, in a world where HelloFood exists. I hope these figures are just an unfixed bug.

Thanks Hafiz.
Your points are noted.

Erm, the time per kilometer is a tip to initialize negotiation on delivery fee as delivery cost isn’t fixed for our audience.
We are also working to make sure there are sellers within 2km radius of every buyer.
I think it’s also noteworthy that on Hojah, sellers have the right to set a minimum delivery cost that pays them.

What do you think?

Buyers do not have to buy from sellers as far as 20km away, the map feature helps users to locate the closest sellers to them. More so, delivery charges differs among sellers.
