Goodie Bag

Goodie Bag operates as a marketplace dedicated to reducing food waste by connecting consumers with local shops offering surplus food at discounted prices. The platform allows shops to list unsold food items as 'goodie bags,' which consumers can purchase at a minimum of 50% off the original price. This model not only helps in salvaging revenue for local businesses but also attracts new customers who are budget-conscious and environmentally aware. Launched in January 2023, Goodie Bag initially partnered with a local pizzeria, Barchetta, and quickly gained traction by offering surplus lunch slices at half price. The business primarily serves local food vendors and consumers looking for affordable meal options, operating within the food and beverage market. Revenue is generated through transaction fees on each sale made via the platform. By facilitating the sale of surplus food, Goodie Bag contributes to a greener planet while providing economic benefits to its partners.
