Foodservice in Africa has witnessed tremendous growth recently, driven by increasing urbanization, disposable income, and the emerging middle class. With increased migration into cities in search of greener pastures, the need for convenient dining solutions increased, consequently leading to an increase in the number of restaurants, cafes, fast food outlets, and food delivery services right across the continent. 
Diversity forms the all-inclusive hallmark of the African foodservice market. From the aromatic spices and stews of North Africa to flavored jollof rice and grilled meats in West Africa, each of the regions reflects its heritage and cultural influences in the food. Furthermore, it is the fusion of traditional African cuisine with global culinary trends that has finally shaped up as vivacious and eclectic food scenes, serving a variety of tastes and preferences.
