Customer Story
Sta Xpress went from a handful of Kampala outlets attached to Stabex fuel stations to a citywide fried chicken and pizza brand with one branded app handling ordering, dispatch, and mobile money payments from day one.
Sta Xpress launched in 2022, founded by a team of Ugandan entrepreneurs who saw an opportunity to transform how Kampala orders food. In a market where mobile money dominates and bank accounts remain scarce, STA Food envisioned a platform that could serve every Ugandan — not just those with credit cards.
Founder and CEO Mustafa Kiprop Bett understood that Uganda’s food delivery landscape needed more than just an app. It needed a payment-first approach built around the way Ugandans actually transact.
“Deonde gave us everything we needed to compete at the highest level. The mobile money integration was critical — it opened up the market to customers who don’t have credit cards.”
Uganda runs on mobile money, but food delivery apps still demanded credit cards. 95% of Kampala couldn’t even pay. Restaurants juggling WhatsApp, drivers with no dispatch — STA Food needed a platform fast.
Deonde gave STA Food a ready-to-launch platform — customer app, driver app, vendor dashboard, and MTN + Airtel mobile money integration built to work where bank cards don’t. Live in 7 days.
STA Food became Uganda’s #1 food delivery app, hitting 50,000+ active users and doubling order volume in just 6 months — all while paying zero commission.
Deonde gave Sta Xpress a full three-app system — customer, rider, and vendor — plus the dashboard and payments layer to run all of it as one platform, not three separate products bolted together.
The branded ordering app customers use to order fried chicken, pizza, burgers, and everything else on the menu, on the App Store and Google Play.
A dedicated rider app for Sta Xpress’s own delivery team, handling pickup, live navigation, and delivery confirmation so orders move straight from the kitchen to the customer’s door.
A dedicated app for every outlet to list its menu, manage stock, and take orders — letting each Sta Xpress location run its own listings while staying part of one connected network.
Sta Xpress manages outlets across Kampala and beyond from a single admin panel — adding a new city or a new outlet doesn’t mean setting up a new system from scratch.
MTN Mobile Money and Airtel Money checkout built alongside cash and card — because in Uganda, if you don’t support local mobile money, you don’t get the order.
Push notifications, discount vouchers, and promo codes built into the platform, so Sta Xpress can run offers and win back customers without needing separate marketing software.
Sta Xpress used Deonde to turn a chain of fuel-station food counters into a single branded delivery platform without building an ordering and dispatch system from the ground up.
Deonde gives businesses the technology to launch their own branded ordering app, manage every outlet and rider from one dashboard, and take mobile money payments from day one.
Whether you’re running a single restaurant, a regional QSR chain, or the next Sta Xpress in your market, Deonde can help you build it under your own name.
