Stop binning food.
Start recovering revenue.
ResQBox Food turns your end-of-day surplus into paid orders from new local customers. About a minute of work a day. Weekly payouts. One of the lowest commission rates of any food platform in Australia.
Free to download. Free to list. Pay only when you make a sale.
“The ingredients are paid for. The labour's done. ResQBox helps you get paid for the food before it's thrown away.”
Every meal you throw out at the end of the day is money you've already spent — on ingredients, on labour, on power. ResQBox is the simplest way to turn that sunk cost back into revenue, instead of paying again to dispose of it.
HOW IT WORKS
Set up in minutes. Run it in seconds a day.
Designed for busy kitchens. No new POS. No staff training. No friction.
Download and verify
Get the ResQBox Kitchen app, verify your ABN, and set up payouts. Fifteen minutes, one time, done.
Mystery Boxes auto-list
Mystery Boxes are listed automatically each day — no daily setup. Open the app only when you want to feature specific items as Custom Boxes (with photos and descriptions). Most Custom Box listings take under 30 seconds.
Customer pays and places order
Local customers nearby see your listing in real time. They place an order and pay through the app — payment is locked in immediately, no chasing money.
Hand it over at pickup
Customers arrive in your pickup window with their order code. Match the code, hand over the bag, done. Your team carries on with closing.
TWO WAYS TO LIST
As fast or as detailed as you want.
Some kitchens move fast and just want surplus gone. Others want to feature specific dishes. ResQBox supports both, side by side.
Mystery Box
Set a fixed price and a quantity. Customers buy without knowing exactly what's inside. You decide what goes in the bag at pickup, based on what's actually surplus that day.
BEST FOR
- Fast-paced kitchens
- Mixed daily surplus
- Maximum flexibility at pickup
Custom Box
Build a listing for specific items with photos and descriptions. Great for featuring signature dishes, family meals for two, or larger surplus you want to move quickly.
BEST FOR
- Featuring specific dishes
- Larger surplus items
- Building loyalty with regulars

100%
Pricing freedom
You set the price on every listing. Our only rule: discount must be at least 50% off your retail price — to keep ResQBox a real deal for customers.
EXAMPLE
A typical Tuesday
At end of service, you list four Mystery Boxes at $10 each. By 8pm, all four sell. The proceeds land in your weekly payout the following Monday — minus our commission. That's revenue from food you would otherwise have thrown in the bin. Multiply across a week, and ResQBox becomes a meaningful line item on your P&L.
Example only. Real revenue depends on listings, pricing and demand.
BUILT FOR YOU
Designed by people who've worked in kitchens.
Less admin, more autonomy, more recovered revenue.
Lower commission than delivery apps
Most food delivery apps take 25–35% of every order. ResQBox takes significantly less. The difference goes back into your business — to staff, to ingredients, to keeping the doors open.
New customers, not your regulars
ResQBox customers are price-sensitive eaters trying restaurants they've never been to. They're new revenue from food that would otherwise be thrown out. Many become regulars at full price.
About a minute a day
Listing surplus takes seconds. No POS integration. No new hardware. No staff training. Open the app, set a price, get back to your kitchen.

THE HONEST ANSWERS
Real questions from real owners.
No fluff. Here's what we get asked most.
Will I lose my full-price customers?
ResQBox customers are different from your regular customers. Most are price-sensitive, adventurous eaters trying restaurants they've never been to. They're not the people who would have walked in and paid full price — they're new revenue from food that would otherwise have been thrown out. Many become regulars at full price after discovering you through us.
How much work is this for my kitchen team?
Almost none. Mystery Boxes are listed automatically each day with no manual setup — they appear on the app for customers to find. Custom Boxes are optional, and only take 30-60 seconds to publish when you want to feature specific items. There's no POS integration, no new hardware, and no staff training. The whole system is designed to fit around your existing workflow.
What if I don't have surplus on a given day?
You don't need to manually post every day — Mystery Boxes are listed automatically. On days when you want to feature specific items, you can add Custom Boxes. Full participation expectations are covered in your Restaurant Terms when you sign up.
How do I get paid, and when?
Customer payments are processed securely through our payment provider and paid out to your nominated bank account weekly, automatically. Setup takes about 5 minutes when you onboard. No invoicing, no chasing payments, no manual reconciliation.
How does the commission work?
We charge a per-order commission only — no monthly subscription, no listing fees, no setup costs, no hidden charges. We only earn when you make a sale. The specific commission rate is detailed in your Restaurant Terms before you list. By comparison, the major food delivery apps in Australia typically take 25–35% of every order.
Can I set my own prices?
Yes. You decide what every box costs. Our only rule is the listing must be at least 50% off your normal retail price — that's what keeps ResQBox an actual deal for customers and the platform credible. Within that, you have full control.
What if a customer doesn't show up?
You keep the full payment. The food is yours to redistribute, donate, or take home. We send customers reminders before their pickup window opens, and no-shows are tracked — repeat offenders lose access. You're not on the hook for anyone else's flakiness.
