From Challenge to Opportunity
Barakah: Your Partner in Increasing Revenue by Selling Surplus Food Products
By the Numbers: Challenges Facing Restaurants
Studies show that 60% of restaurants fail or close within their first year.
And the remaining 40% that continue operating are not necessarily in a comfortable position.
As a restaurant owner, once you start thinking about growth, whether that means opening a new branch or improving your current one, challenges begin to appear, such as rising operational costs, demanding digital marketing efforts, and a team that requires constant follow-up.
But for many, the biggest and most fundamental challenge is:
Weak profitability and the inability to cover expenses and losses.
This is what causes some restaurant owners to step back, while others continue, adapt, and achieve strong sales.
And if you are among the second group, the ones who continued and succeeded, then you have probably started noticing another challenge at the end of every day:
Daily surplus food.
How Can You Turn Surplus Food into Additional Revenue?
When we look at the numbers, food waste accounts for around 33% of total food in Saudi Arabia, which equals approximately SAR 30 billion annually.
And the loss is not limited to food alone. It also includes the resources used to produce it, such as water, electricity, energy, and labor.
That is why Barakah offers a practical and effective solution that aligns with Saudi Vision 2030, which aims to reduce food waste by 50%.
How Does Barakah Support These Sectors?
Daily losses are not only caused by slow sales. They also include products that are close to expiry or were not sold at the right time.
Whether you run a restaurant, café, or supermarket, reducing food and resource waste has become essential for lowering costs and improving profitability.
1. Sell surplus instead of throwing it away
Instead of disposing of fresh products and paying the cost of handling that waste, Barakah opens a new sales channel for your business. You can list surplus products at attractive prices for customers who care about both value and quality.
2. Reach a wider audience with less effort
Joining Barakah as a partner helps you reach customers who actively look for offers and affordable options, whether from restaurants, cafés, or supermarkets. This increases your daily sales potential without adding extra marketing costs.
3. Contribute to social responsibility
Partnering with Barakah reflects your commitment to preserving blessings and reducing waste. These values matter to a growing segment of customers who care about responsible and mindful practices.
4. Generate additional revenue with no extra operational cost
All you need to do is activate your account, add your surplus products and pickup times, and Barakah takes care of the rest, from promotion to delivery.
