Everything you need to know about FoodLoot — grouped so you can find it fast.
The basics3 questions
FoodLoot is Pakistan's first food rescue app — connecting customers with local restaurants, cafes, and vendors who have surplus food to sell at steep discounts. Great for your wallet and great for the planet.
Yes — downloading and using FoodLoot is completely free for customers. You only pay for the deals you reserve.
No — FoodLoot is pickup only. Skipping delivery keeps prices low for you and emissions down for the planet.
Surprise Bags3 questions
A mystery box of that day's surplus from the vendor — could be pastries, sandwiches, mains, coffee, or anything else they have left. Always good food, just unsold by closing.
Yes. Surplus means unsold that day — not expired. Every vendor on FoodLoot follows standard food-safety practices, the same as any other order from their kitchen.
Surprise Bags come in three sizes — Small, Medium, and Large. Each vendor sets the price for their bags. The contents are always a surprise based on what surplus is available that day, but a larger bag means more food and more value.
Pickup2 questions
When you reserve a deal, you receive a QR code in the app. Head to the vendor during your pickup window and show the code on your phone. They scan it to confirm. No paperwork, no queues.
FoodLoot auto-sends a push notification 30 minutes before your window closes, so missed pickups are rare. If it does happen, it's up to the vendor — some will let you collect late as a one-off, others only honour pickups during their opening hours.
Payments1 question
If a vendor cancels, runs out, or the food isn't usable, we refund you to your FoodLoot Wallet — credit you can spend on your next loot, no questions asked.
Vendor FAQ9 questions
Joining as a launch partner vendor is completely free. There are no upfront costs, no monthly subscription, no setup fee, and no equipment to buy. FoodLoot only charges a small flat fee per completed order — you only pay when a customer actually picks up a bag. No percentages, no surprise deductions. We confirm the exact figure during onboarding (or message us on WhatsApp and we'll send it).
Under a minute, end to end. Pick a bag size, set the price, set a pickup window — done. The vendor app is built for the counter: big buttons, no menus, nothing to learn. Your staff can run it on their first shift.
Don't list anything. There's no minimum bag commitment per day, week, or month. List when you have surplus, skip when you don't — your call, every single day.
Apply via the form on our vendors page or message us on WhatsApp. Our team will reach out to begin onboarding — a guided 7-step flow that auto-saves at every step. The whole thing takes under 10 minutes and you can never lose your progress.
When a customer reserves a deal, they receive a QR code in the app. They arrive at your store during the pickup window and show the code on their phone. You tap to scan it in the FoodLoot vendor app — the order is marked collected. No cash, no receipts, no confusion.
Any prepared surplus food that's fresh and safe to eat — baked goods, meals, lunch boxes, pastries, drinks, combo boxes. The only requirement is that it was prepared on the same day. You decide what goes in every bag — we never put anything in for you.
When listing a deal, you choose a bag size — Small, Medium, or Large — and set the price for each. This lets you control your margins while giving customers a clear sense of what they're getting. You decide what goes in each size based on your surplus.
You choose the pickup window when posting each deal. Windows must be at least 40 minutes long and cannot be set in the past. You can schedule same-day or for a future date. You're in full control.
