In a world facing food waste challenges, OrderLemon’s ZeroFoodWaste / LaatsteRondje empowers retailers, bakeries, cafés, supermarkets and more to transform surplus inventory into revenue—directly via WhatsApp. Instead of discarding unsold products at day’s end, merchants can offer them to customers as exclusive deals and limited-time bundles.
This module builds on the core OrderLemon platform but specializes in managing, marketing, and selling leftover stock efficiently , while preserving control over pricing, customer access, and brand experience.
Reduce waste, increase margin
Products that would otherwise be written off can become additional income.
Direct customer engagement
Notify customers instantly when deals go live, creating urgency and stronger loyalty.
Full control, minimal intermediaries
Unlike third-party platforms, you own the customer relationship, decide the offers, and avoid heavy commission fees.
Seamless ordering via WhatsApp
Because many customers already use WhatsApp daily, buying leftover products becomes frictionless and natural.
