Why Foody Bag is the right choice
31 July 2025
🍞 How Local Food Retailers Are Turning Unsold Stock into Profit — and Purpose
Every day, food retailers across Australia close up shop with great food left unsold. Perfectly fresh focaccias, flaky pastries, sushi rolls, sandwiches, and more — all at risk of going to waste simply because the clock ran out.
That’s why we built Foody Bag — the Australian app that helps businesses sell their surplus food at the end of the day, attract new local customers, and boost their bottom line.
A Simple Way to Boost Sales and Cut Waste
🎯 Foody Bag connects your store to nearby customers who want to grab a great-value bag of food - quickly, easily, and at a price you set.
Customers don’t expect itemised contents — it’s a lucky dip bag, made up of food that would otherwise go unsold. It’s a win-win: less waste for you, great value for them.
💸 Build Your Reputation, Then Adjust Your Discount
As your store becomes more popular on Foody Bag, you gain more flexibility in how you price your bags:
It’s not an automatic price change — it’s your opportunity to optimise your offer as your store builds trust on the platform.
📈 Real Revenue with Low Fees
Unlike other platforms, Foody Bag only charges a small commission — just 15% plus card transaction fees. No subscriptions. No lock-ins. No monthly costs.
💡 Example:
Sell just 5 Foody Bags a day at $9.99 each, and over a year you could reclaim more than $18,000 from food that might’ve otherwise gone to waste.
🇦🇺 Built in Australia, for Australians
Foody Bag is proudly Australian-owned and operated.
❤️ Let Customers Round Up for Good
With our “Small Change, Big Impact” feature, customers can round up their purchase — and the extra cents go to a charity of your choice.
Whether it’s a school down the road, a food bank, or a local shelter — you’re in control of the cause.
