Frequently Asked Questions
What's in a surprise box?
Each box contains surplus food from restaurants and stores. The contents vary daily based on what's available, but you'll always get great value for your money.
How do I know the food is safe?
All our partner businesses follow strict food safety guidelines. Food is only available if it meets our quality standards and is safe for consumption.
What if I can't pick up my order?
Please cancel your order at least 2 hours before pickup time. Late cancellations or no-shows may affect your account status.
Can I choose what's in my box?
Surprise boxes contain whatever surplus food is available that day. This helps reduce waste and keeps prices low. You can see the general category (e.g., "Bakery", "Fresh Produce") before ordering.
