Our story
TastyIgniter started as a university project in 2013. Today it powers online ordering for thousands of independent restaurants — with zero commission and full ownership.
Our mission
"To make online ordering accessible to every restaurant in the world — without the cost, the complexity, or the commission."
Samuel Adepoyigi was a final-year university student craving authentic Nigerian cuisine. Every time he tried to order online, the experience was broken — limited choices, frequent mistakes, and restaurants losing money to platform fees they couldn't afford.
So he built a solution. TastyIgniter — a subtle nod to the CodeIgniter PHP framework — started as a final year project and became something far bigger.

Third-party delivery platforms take 15–35% of every order. For many independent restaurants, that's the difference between profit and loss. TastyIgniter exists so restaurants can own their online channel — and keep every penny of revenue.
The core platform will always be free to download and self-host. No commissions, no hidden fees, no lock-in. You pay for your own hosting and any extensions you choose — that's it.
