Packaging decides whether it travels.

Half of what makes a surplus offer viable has nothing to do with price.

A dish that survives twenty minutes in a bag is a delivery item. One that does not is a pickup item, regardless of how good the discount is.

That distinction gets made in packaging, not in pricing, and it is the single most common reason a promising listing performs badly. Fried food in a sealed box arrives steamed; a salad under a hot main arrives wilted.

The offer is not just the food and the price. It is the food, the price and the fifteen minutes in between.

So onboarding includes an unglamorous conversation about containers and which items should be pickup-only. Partners who take it seriously see better repeat rates within a fortnight.
