About us
Making local commerce feel effortless.
Zap is on a mission to make ordering from local businesses as easy as chatting with a friend.
Across Africa, millions of small businesses are the heartbeat of their neighbourhoods — the restaurant on the corner, the bakery down the road, the vendor everyone knows by name. But reaching them online has always meant clunky apps and complicated menus.
We think there's a better way. People already order from friends by simply asking. So we built Zap around a conversation — and let Juls, our AI, do the heavy lifting.
The future of local commerce is a chat away.
What we value.
Effortless
If it takes more than a message, we haven't finished the job.
Local
We grow city by city, with the businesses that feed their neighbourhoods.
Human
Technology should feel warm, simple and on your side.
