Meet Daniel Sanya, a 31-year-old Lagos-born tech entrepreneur who garnered international recognition from the International Franchising Association for his groundbreaking idea of transforming the locally beloved dish, Ewa Agoyin, into a technologically enabled and urban favorite.

Daniel conceived this idea in 2014, but due to financial constraints, he couldn’t bring his vision to fruition. Fast forward to 2018, Daniel opened his first food outlet in collaboration with Wimpy Lounge along the Sangotedo expressway, attracting commuters with the unique design of the Agoyin on Demand sign.

However, the year 2020 has posed unprecedented challenges for businesses like Agoyin on Demand, with the looming threat of collapse due to the lockdown measures that prohibited serving customers at the establishment. Nevertheless, Daniel’s quick thinking and technological acumen came to the rescue.

Leveraging his background, he swiftly devised a means to reach his customers and vice versa, by creating what could be considered the most advanced food ordering platform in Nigeria. Utilizing an e-commerce carting system and AI customer service technology, Daniel ensured that Agoyin on Demand could still serve its customers during this dire season.

Moreover, Daniel demonstrated his commitment to community support by offering free food on several occasions and providing up to 50% discounts to diverse healthcare workers and frontline service personnel during the lockdown period. As a testament to its popularity and quality, Agoyin on Demand attracted patronage from several celebrities, including Funke Akindele, Chioma Akpota, Sammy Okposo, Nikki Laoye, among many others.

When asked about his long-term vision for Agoyin on Demand, Daniel expressed his ambition for it to evolve into a fully functional food service franchise driven by technology. As Daniel embarks on this illustrious journey of empowering business ideas with technology, our love and wishes stand with him, rooting for his continued success in reshaping the culinary landscape with innovation.
