GoDeliveries accepts applications from conventional restaurants and suitable independent food creators. That can include cafés, bakeries, home chefs, caterers, cloud kitchens, meal-prep businesses, dessert brands, snack sellers and specialty food makers. The application is a starting point for review, not an automatic approval.
Preparing a few clear details makes the form faster and helps the review team understand how the business would fit the product and delivery operation.
Your public business or creator name
Use the name customers recognise. If a legal or registered name is different, that can be addressed during the appropriate onboarding step. The first application should not force a home chef or early-stage creator to present like a large chain, but the name should still be consistent across the menu and any portfolio links.
The vendor type that best describes the operation
Choose the closest practical type: restaurant, café, bakery, home chef, caterer, cloud kitchen, meal-prep business, dessert or snack brand, specialty food maker, or another food creator. The type helps GoDeliveries understand the likely preparation and pickup model. It does not need to describe every product category.
A focused description of what you sell
Write two or three sentences explaining the main products, who they are prepared for and anything operationally important. Avoid slogans without product information. “Fresh meals made with love” is less useful than “Pre-order Kenyan lunch trays in single and family portions, prepared Monday to Friday.”
- Main food category or categories.
- Useful cuisine or product tags.
- Whether products are made to order, batched or available by pre-order.
- Any key format such as single meals, boxes, trays or event catering.
The real operating location
Provide the county or city and the area where orders are prepared or collected. A fixed-premises business should be ready to share an address riders can find. A home-based, mobile or pop-up business should explain its operating model rather than supplying a misleading permanent location.
Location is important because vendor acceptance and delivery support depend on service coverage. An application can be suitable in other respects but outside the current operating area.
A reachable contact person
Use the name, phone number and email of the person who can answer questions and complete onboarding. Check the details for typing errors. If a different number is used for WhatsApp, add it clearly. Do not provide payment PINs or passwords in the application.
A current menu or representative product list
A menu helps the reviewer understand product fit, typical prices and how clearly the business presents its food. It can be a readable image, PDF, document or current public link when the application supports that format. A creator without a formal menu can prepare a simple list with product names, descriptions, sizes and prices.
The reviewer needs a current, readable representation of what customers could order—not a polished design portfolio.
Operating and fulfilment information
Be ready to explain normal opening days, preparation expectations, delivery packaging and whether the business already uses its own delivery team. These answers help shape the onboarding and delivery setup. They should describe normal operations rather than the best day the business has ever had.
- Usual opening or order-acceptance days.
- Typical preparation pattern for standard products.
- Packaging available for hot, cold, fragile or spill-prone items.
- Whether orders are fulfilled from one location or several branches.
- Areas the business already serves, if any.
An accurate social or portfolio link
An Instagram, TikTok, website or portfolio link can help the team understand the food and presentation. It is optional for the initial review unless the form says otherwise. Use an active page that belongs to the business and shows representative products. Do not use unrelated images as if they were your own work.
Food-safety and operational readiness
The first form may not collect every document. Accepted applicants may be asked for additional food-handling, business, payment or settlement information during onboarding where relevant. Requirements can vary with the vendor type and operating context, so the public site does not promise one universal document list.
What the review considers
An application may be assessed for location and delivery coverage, product suitability, clarity of information, food-safety readiness, operating capacity and the ability to prepare orders for handoff. Applying does not guarantee acceptance, orders, a fixed approval time or a particular commercial term.
Final check before submission
- The vendor name and type are accurate.
- The main food categories and tags describe current products.
- The operating area and premises model are clear.
- The contact phone and email are reachable.
- The menu or portfolio link opens and is readable.
- The information reflects normal capacity and availability.
- The applicant is authorised to submit the business information.
A complete application is useful because it reduces basic follow-up and gives both sides a realistic starting point. The goal is not to make every applicant look the same. It is to understand what the food business makes, how it operates and whether GoDeliveries can support it responsibly.
