It started with a craving and a late-night walk in Praia.
João, a young developer tired of cold cachupa and long waits, thought: “Why can’t we order food like they do abroad?”
He called his childhood friend Dina, a marketing whiz with a passion for local cuisine.
Together, they built FaxiFood—an app that connects hungry people to nearby restaurants, fast.
They began with five restaurants and a handful of delivery riders on scooters and bikes.
At first, some chefs were skeptical. But then orders started rolling in—especially during lunch breaks and rainy nights.
With GPS tracking, mobile payments, and bilingual menus, customers felt empowered and connected.
Soon, restaurants in Mindelo and Santa Maria joined the platform, doubling their daily sales.
Delivery riders, once unemployed, now earned stable income and tips with pride.
FaxiFood became more than an app—it became a movement to digitize food culture in Cabo Verde.
They added features like scheduled delivery for remote villages and eco-packaging options.
Tourists began using it too—discovering hidden food gems with just one tap.
The company grew, but its heart stayed local: “Support small kitchens. Feed the future.”
By year two, they partnered with over 100 restaurants and launched a nutrition tracker.
Their goal? To build not just convenience, but community through food.
From a simple idea to a nationwide platform, João and Dina proved tech could serve tradition.
Investors took notice—green tech, youth-led, culturally rooted, and ready to scale.
In every delivery, SabeBem delivers more than meals—it delivers opportunity.
🍽️ This is Cabo Verde’s food revolution—delivered one order at a time.
And it’s only just beginning.
