About Us
Real groceries, built the way Nigerian shopping actually works.
A remote personal shopper for groceries — open-air markets and supermarkets alike. Free-text lists, stall-smart agents, transfer pay, and a rider to your door.
Pre-pilot · Opening carefully
Mission
Bring real groceries to your kitchen — without faking the market.
No pretend catalogue where one doesn't belong. No unauthorized cash. Just people who know the stalls and the shelves, money that leaves a trail, and groceries that arrive the way you asked for them.
Why we exist
The story in three beats.
01
Catalogues don't fit open-air markets
Prices shift by the hour. Items are sold by heap, not SKU. Apps that pretend otherwise break the moment you ask for “₦500 of pepper.”
02
Put a person who knows the stalls in the middle
Qyka pairs free-text lists with agents who already bargain those markets — then wraps the run in transfers, photos, and delivery home.
03
Building toward the first pilot
We're lining up markets, agents, and the money trail before we open the floodgates. Join early if that sounds like home.
What we believe
How we decide what to build.
Markets first
Balogun-style bargaining and transfer pay — not a catalogue dressed up as “local.”
Groceries, broadly
Open-air produce or supermarket staples — one list, one run, whichever venue actually has it.
People in the loop
Human agents shop your list. Photos and transfers keep every run accountable, not an algorithm's guess.
Pre-pilot honesty
We're opening carefully. Waitlist for customers, applications for agents and riders, live app when you have access.
The difference
What actually changes.
The old way
The Qyka way
Go yourself, or send someone and hope
Send a free-text list, an agent shops it
Cash changes hands with no record
Every vendor paid by transfer, photographed
A supermarket app that skips the market entirely
One list covers market stalls and supermarket shelves
No idea what's happening until it arrives
Status, photos, and chat with your agent the whole run
Join in
Come along for the pilot.
Join the waitlist as a customer, apply as an agent or rider, or open the live app if you already have access.
