One of the bakers in the area who is participating

Post by arzina566 »

Time for a chat with Joost Rietveld, Managing Director at Too Good To Go Netherlands. In this article I discuss the concept, the challenges and the success based on my own experience and the input of Joost.

How does it work?
After downloading the app, you can see participating entrepreneurs with their Magic Boxes offer based on your location (or by specifying a place). Too Good To Go does not collect location data (the app can use the location data), only necessary information to send the invoice for the purchase.

If you buy a bag for €4.99, you will roughly get 15 euros worth of products. What it is depends on the offer. For example, at a bakery it is one or two (half) loaves of bread and special bread such as rolls and croissants. Supermarkets have a varied offer with all sorts of things. One of the supermarkets near me often has (a lot of) meat in the package, which can easily feed a family for three days. It is not always a meal package. You often have to combine it with what you already have or buy extra.

It is important that it is also really edible (that is sweden telegram datato say, realistically edible, so within a short time). Of course, you can also freeze products.

Disappointing bags
Because these are surprise bags, the contents may be disappointing. It may be that what is in them is not to your taste. But it may also be that the price-quality ratio is less. That is why you can rate the bags by means of stars. You can also indicate whether you would like to buy a bag from this entrepreneur again. Personally, I rarely have a bag that is on the lesser side. The photos of the baker and the cheesemonger with this article are more the rule than the exception.

How quickly can an entrepreneur get involved?
According to Rietveld, an entrepreneur can get on the app within 30 minutes. There is a form in the app and on the site to get in touch. Together with the people of Too Good To Go, a page is created and the entrepreneur can offer his/her products. It is important to emphasize that this is about waste, not something else.

Via the site, entrepreneurs can log in to a portal where they can enter bags. But there is also another process and that also needs to be arranged: that is the collection of the products in the store for the bag. A good balance is important.
