Why we deliver same-day in Lagos (and why it matters)

A bottle of cold-pressed juice has roughly 48 hours of useful life from the moment we press it. If a courier holds it for 24 of those, you're getting half a bottle.

How we structure the day

• 5:30am — fruit arrives from Mile 12 market
• 6:30am — first press starts
• 8:00am — orders for the day open
• 9:00am–7:00pm — Bolt riders pick up in 15-minute windows

The bottle that lands at your door at 2pm was pressed before sunrise the same day. That's the whole reason we limit delivery to Lagos for now.

What we don't do

• Pre-press the day before — by the time you'd open the bottle, you'd have 12 hours of juice left
• Use long-life packaging — that requires pasteurisation (heat) which is exactly what cold-pressing was supposed to avoid
• Centralise into one warehouse — every extra hop is an hour off the clock

What this costs you

Delivery is between ₦1,500 and ₦3,500 depending on zone. We're not making money on that line — it covers Bolt + the rider's time. We'd rather charge the real cost than fake "free delivery" and bake it into the bottle price.

What's next

Once we have the routing dialled in for Lagos, we'll look at Abuja. Other cities sooner if there's enough demand on the WhatsApp line to justify a second press kitchen.
