Chowdeck CEO Femi Aluko has revealed that the company’s delivery riders earn an average of N100,000 per week, with top-performing riders reportedly making significantly more.
Aluko made the disclosure during an interview with Channels while explaining the earning potential of riders on the food delivery platform.
According to him, the amount a rider earns is largely influenced by the number of deliveries completed and the distance covered, as riders are also paid based on kilometres travelled.
The interviewer expressed surprise at the figure, noting that an average weekly income of N100,000 would amount to about N400,000 monthly for riders using bicycles.
Aluko confirmed the calculation but noted that the job also comes with expenses, including the cost of maintaining the bicycles.
Their conversation went thus …
Femi Aluko: “Chowdeck riders earn an average of N100,000 per week while staying fit. The best ones make much higher than that. It’s a game of numbers, the more delivery you do, the more you’re able to earn and cover distance and kilometres because they’re also paid by kilometres.”
Interviewer: “So you’re telling me those boys riding those bicycles make N100K in a week. So in a month, N400K, riding bicycle.”
Femi Aluko: “That’s correct, yeah. Again, it also comes with its own cost, like you have to maintain your bicycles.”
