YumCycle for Vendors

Turn the end-of-day food you would normally throw out into extra revenue every week — paid weekly, straight to your bank. YumCycle for Vendors is the vendor app for YumCycle, a food rescue platform launching in Leeds and Hull. You list the meals you didn't sell during service at around half their menu price. Customers nearby see them instantly and either collect in person or have a YumCycle rider deliver. You earn on food that would otherwise cost you money to bin — and you cut waste at the same time. WHY VENDORS USE YUMCYCLE Every kitchen ends the day with food it didn't sell. Binning it costs you twice: once for the wasted ingredients and prep, and again for waste-collection fees. YumCycle turns that daily loss into daily income, with no change to how your kitchen runs. ZERO RISK TO TRY No setup fee. No monthly cost. No commitment. No exclusivity. List a few meals one evening and see what happens. If it doesn't suit your kitchen, you simply stop — there's nothing to cancel. NO NEW WORKFLOW List surplus straight from your phone, around 30 minutes before close. Pick a dish, set a quantity, set a collection window, and post. Customers see it immediately. No tablet to install, no POS integration, no extra staff, no training. Once you've done it twice, each item takes under 60 seconds. THE ECONOMICS • YumCycle takes a simple 10% platform fee — you keep 90% of every item you sell • Delivery is handled by YumCycle riders, and the delivery fee is paid by the customer, never taken from you • Payouts reach your bank account weekly via Stripe Connect, with a clear statement every week WHAT YOU CAN LIST End-of-service mains and small plates, bakery boxes and pastries, sushi and sashimi trays, salads, sandwiches, deli boxes and soups, vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free dishes, and pre-prepped catering surplus. You set the price, quantity, collection window and a short description.
