MTN MoMo checkout and boda last-mile
Checkout defaults to MTN Mobile Money; Airtel Money, Flutterwave (Visa/Mastercard), and cash on delivery are also supported. Last-mile uses boda-boda riders with insulated bags for hot food and thermal boxes for cold. Every rider is ID-verified, photo-listed on your order, and tracked live.
How GeraEats compares to Akorn, Jumia Food, and Bolt Food
Akorn (Ugandan-built grocery and food delivery) has a strong local footprint; Jumia Food and Bolt Food have both operated at various points with mixed continuity. GeraEats leans on three things: UGX-first pricing displayed via our country selector with no FX surprises, MoMo-first checkout, and the wider Gera ecosystem — restaurants can sell groceries and ingredients on GeraMarket, riders pick up gigs on GeraRide, and health-conscious diners get their diet plans from GeraClinic dietitians.
EAC cross-border angle for restaurants
Restaurant brands that operate across Kampala, Nairobi, Kigali, and Dar es Salaam — increasingly common in the EAC — can manage menus, staff rotas, and payout reconciliation across their regional footprint on a single GeraEats merchant account.
