FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about JoyBag: Surprise Meal Bags from Local Restaurants.

What is a JoyBag?

A JoyBag is a surprise meal bag from a local restaurant containing chef-selected surplus food at a discounted price. You know the restaurant but the exact contents are a surprise.

How much does a JoyBag cost?

JoyBag prices vary by restaurant but are typically 30–50% below regular menu prices. The exact price is shown when you browse available bags.

Can I have dietary restrictions with JoyBag?

You can filter by restaurant type and some dietary preferences. However, since JoyBags are surprise bags, exact contents aren't guaranteed to meet all dietary restrictions.

How fresh is the food in a JoyBag?

All JoyBag food is freshly prepared that day. It's surplus food from the day's service — not old or expired food.

What if I don't like what's in my JoyBag?

JoyBags are non-refundable since the food is prepared fresh. However, if you receive food that is spoiled or unsafe, contact us immediately for a full refund.

How does JoyBag help the environment?

By purchasing surplus food that would otherwise be thrown away, you're directly reducing food waste and the associated greenhouse gas emissions.
