Iddy John is an entrepreneur running two online, tech-based businesses in Tanzania, one in the online travel booking industry Safari Wallet and Place Listed an online directory for restaurants and lodgings. With the current economic realities around COVID-19, there are many challenges to businesses such as restaurants, many of which are closed as a part of the disease mitigation process, micro food businesses such as informal food sellers would be hard hit with no safety net or way to continue to make a living if they cannot sell food on the street. The food delivery platform for Place Listed could fill a critical need by pulling in the micro food businesses into the food delivery business so that they can continue to earn a living in these trying economic times. The food delivery platform could also provide opportunity for the motorcycle taxis to integrate them into the food delivery system to supplement their incomes considering that less people will be out riding on these taxis in close proximity.
