Avenir Technologies’ Tikus Delivery is an on-demand delivery business that was started in Addis Ababa with the goal of hiring 1,000 jobless youngsters. The organization intends to do so through assisting local companies and creating new opportunities for individuals to earn, work, and live. This, according to Tikus Delivery, is only the start of an attempt to link individuals with employment, better income, happier days, and stronger communities. Tikus fulfills customers’ appetites and allows them to devote more time and attention to themselves and those they care about by placing their favorite eateries at their fingertips. Tikus does this by utilizing custom-made applications for customers, delivery riders, and restaurants. Tikus customers may place orders via calling 9133, using the Tikus iOS app, or using the Tikus Android app. Regardless of the form you select, the ordering process is essentially the same. Select your favorite restaurant, then add the goods to your cart and proceed to the checkout. As a consumer, you can follow every step of your order as it makes its way to its final destination in real time. Riders enjoy freedom and financial benefit when they work and deliver with Tikus, making their lives easier and their ambitions more reachable, all on their own time and terms. Tikus intends to employ 1000 young men and women with the help of ‘The BRIDGES program,’ a Mastercard Foundation – Young Africa Works Ethiopia project conducted by Initial Consult PLC. In the first phase, Tikus plans to deploy 200 delivery bicycle messengers across the city. In addition, the initiative has facilitated a bicycle loan offer through a microfinance organization, allowing interested young people to buy their own bikes with only a 10% down payment. Tikus’ unique restaurant-focused solutions help restaurants increase their success, income, and reach by changing their operations and expanding their reach and revenue by opening their doors to a whole city. We give restaurants with a feature-rich and interactive mobile app and online interface that allows them to quickly receive, accept, and process orders in real-time. The data is then gathered and collated to provide businesses with comprehensive sales and revenue insights.
