At the end of the day, the breads from certain bakeries will be sold at a third of their price in a surprise basket on the Too Good To Go application. An initiative that allows merchants not to accumulate unsold products, in addition to making sample their wares.

A total of 25 merchants are active on the application, in Mauricie, but there are also restaurateurs such as Rôtisseries Ti-Coq who turn to the application to sell meals at low prices that have never been claimed.
In catering, order errors are recurrent: unclaimed orders, product errors, communication problems. The trade therefore puts boxes of fries for sale on the application for a lower price. This allows him to avoid losses.
Boxes of surprise products are selling like hot cakes. In a maximum of 20 minutes, the merchants’ boxes find all takers.
Many of its products would normally have ended up in organizations like Moisson Mauricie Centre-du-Québec.
