For bakeries, cafés, groceries, florists

Stop binning good food. Start making it back.

Every evening your counter looks a little like a loss. joayo turns your end-of-day into a surprise-bag pickup for nearby locals — set once, runs itself.

The daily waste tax

You paid for it. Don't pay to bin it.

Bread you baked at 6am, sandwiches you prepped at 10, pastries rotated three times — most of it still perfectly good at 7pm. Throwing it out costs the ingredients, the labor, and the disposal. joayo lets customers rescue it for a fraction of the price, and you keep 60–70% of the margin instead of zero.

Built for perishables

  • Surprise-bag setup in 3 minutes

    Pick a pickup window, set a price (suggested: one-third retail), add a photo. joayo handles listing, claim, and payment. No separate POS, no extra screen.

  • End-of-day automation

    Schedule bags to post 2 hours before close every day. They sell themselves — customers get a push the moment they go live. Nothing for you to do at 8pm when the rush is on.

  • Dynamic pricing as closing nears

    Optional: drop the price 20% if a bag hasn't sold 30 minutes before pickup. Gets the last few out the door without you deciding in the moment.

  • One customer, many visits

    Rescuers are some of the loyalist customers on joayo. Each bag is a first visit — built-in rewards turn them into weekly regulars who also pay full price.

How it works

From tray to bag in three steps.

  1. 1

    Prep the bag

    At closing, pack whatever's still good — a mix of pastries, a loaf, yesterday's sandwich. Customers expect a surprise. Variety is the point.

  2. 2

    Customer picks up

    They show the claim screen during the window you set (e.g. 19:30–21:00). Staff hands over the bag. No codes, no coupons.

  3. 3

    Loyalty kicks in

    First-time rescuers get a small perk next visit. 40% come back within a week — usually for something at full price.

Real impact

Less waste. More margin.

Merchants who run bags 5 days a week see consistent numbers after 4–6 weeks. It's not a promotion — it's a second revenue line that pays for itself.

We used to pack three bin bags of bread a night. Now we pack surprise bags instead. The rescuers turn into Saturday morning regulars — I know most of them by name.
