Gogocater Rewards program just got more interesting

2017-12-19T11:45:00.003-08:00

You may have noticed recently that some restaurants are listed with labels with 2X and 5X rewards.

As you may have guessed, we are revamping our rewards program so that participating restaurants can offer you extra rewards points for orders you place to them.

Example:
You place an order to a restaurant participating at the 3X reward level. Your $200 order now gives you 600 reward points!

Here's the link to the 1st Half 2018 rewards program. Looking forward to giving our awesome customer even better rewards.

We are actively encouraging our restaurants to join in the fun, so we expect the list of reward multipliers to increase as the program gets going in full swing!

Happy Holiday everyone.

Free Food Donation Service - 2 Minutes to Donate

2017-08-10T15:37:00.000-07:00

Hi All,

I am excited to introduce you to a free food donation program. MealConnect is a service run by the largest food donation charity in the US, FeedingAmerica - www.feedingamerica.org.

FeedingAmerica saved 2.8 billion (with a B) pounds of food last year!

MealConnect is great. It takes only 2 minutes to post a donation. It is like Craigslist for donating food.

1) Enter your Zip Code and MealConnect will see if they can pickup in your area.
2) Enter your pickup address.
3) Enter the approximate pounds of food you have to donate.
4) Enter the type of food - for example perishable.
5) Select a 3 hour time window for MealConnect to collect the food.
6) Post your food.

That's it! The service is 100% free!

Q&A

1) Any liability for the donors? NOPE. You are protected by the laws of the US Government. The Good Samaritan Act has you covered.

2) Do I have to donate on a regular schedule? NOPE. Anytime you have food to donate, you can post your donation in 2 minutes.

Check out the MealConnect video.

If you register for an account, MealConnect will track your donations, which your company can use for tax deductions.

Questions? Contact support@gogocater.com. We win when we keep food out of the waste bins and onto those in need.

Thanks!

Gogocater service update

2016-10-25T11:10:00.000-07:00

We will soon be adding a 3% service charge for orders through Gogocater.

Why? There are two main reasons. Most importantly, we are looking to invest in outreach to add more restaurant and caterers to the service. We constantly field request for additional choices, and we are looking to step up in this area. Secondly, we are working to accelerate innovative new features to improve the customer experience. We realize that some of you may have questions or concerns regarding this change. You can reach us at support@gogocater.com. Thanks for your support and helping to make Gogocater a better service.

Don't throw out that excess food!

2016-08-26T12:05:00.002-07:00

We spoke with Copia, a San Francisco Bay Area company whose mission is to feed the world.

They have a simple and powerful way to get excess food to charities where the food can be put to good use.

Here's how it works.

Go to their web site (www.gocopia.com) or download their iOS app. Sign up for an account.
Enter your pickup location and the amount of food and description of the food you have to donate.
Enter a credit card (there is a service charge).

That's it!

A Copia driver will come to your location to collect the food and send it to a charity in need.

By the numbers:

Over 830,000 pounds of food recovered.
Over 691,000 people fed.
$4.6 million in business tax write offs.

A dashboard to your impact:
Copia provides dashboards so you can easily track how much food you have donated. You can also see which charities have accepted your donations, and how many people your food has feed.

FAQ's

When should I donate my food? Answer: When you have left-overs for 15+ meals (about 20 pounds), you and Copia can make a nice impact with that donation.
What if we have regular donations? Answer: That is great. Copia can make regular scheduled pick-ups to your location.
What about liability? Besides state and federal legislation that protects food donors from liability, Copia provides detailed liability protection information and carries insurance for its drivers.
What do the food charge feeds cost? The cost is $.30 to $.50 per pound donated. The more you donate, the lower the fees.
What are those fees for? Copia's fees offset the costs required to pick-up and deliver your food to community charities.
What are the tax benefits? Copia provides a simple reporting tool where businesses can view the value of their food donations. The donations can be used those for tax deductions.
How are businesses winning with Copia? Donating food to charities is a great way to make a positive impact, show that your company is a positively contributing member of the community, enhance employee pride, and earn tax deductions. Facilities managers love the reduced work in disposing of unused food. Finance executives love to see food going to a good cause. Human resources and communications managers love the positive message and community impact.

Want to speak with Copia?
You can start donating today with Copia, but if you have additional questions about the program, you can contact Charlie Barre, Head of Growth. Charlie's email is charlie@copia.com.

Let us know
If your company starts donating with Copia, we'd love to hear how it's working for you. Email us at support@gogocater.com and tell us your food hero story.
