From weddings and corporate events to intimate family dinners, Olokpo connects users with a network of trusted bakers, chefs, mixologists, and grill experts worldwide.
Onose emphasized the app’s vision: “Olokpo is more than just an app – it’s a community, a movement that seeks to empower culinary experts and transform the food industry. Our goal is to create a platform where professionals can showcase their skills and users can access quality culinary services with ease.”
The app’s launch event, which featured a fireside chat on “Scaling Your Culinary Business Through Technology,” was attended by prominent industry leaders, including Mr. Emmanuel Audu, the Permanent Secretary at the Lagos State Ministry of Agriculture and Food Systems. Audu highlighted the ministry’s commitment to supporting the culinary industry, referencing initiatives like the Lagos Food Festival and Eko Flavors, which showcase the talents of young chefs.
This exciting development positions Olokpo as a game-changer in the Nigerian food tech landscape, providing a seamless and reliable experience for both culinary professionals and consumers.
