Cookpad Mart cooperates with Lawson’s new food loss reduction demonstration experiment
Cookpad Mart sells expired products at discounted prices, making it possible to receive them at the mart station installed in the experimental store
The fresh food EC “Cookpad Mart” developed by Cookpad Co., Ltd. will cooperate with Lawson’s demonstration experiment to reduce food loss from December 13, 2022 (Tuesday).
In this measure, products that are within the expiration date but have become “expired * 1” will be sold at a discount after removing them from the store and sold at Cookpad Mart. Users can receive products at the fresh delivery box “Mart Station” installed at the experimental store.
This is Lawson’s first initiative to conduct a demonstration experiment of selling expired products at discounted prices. [Image 1
■ Background
Cookpad Mart began installing mart stations in Lawson stores in June 2020*2. Currently, Mart Stations are installed at 112 stores in Tokyo and three prefectures, and users can receive the products ordered on the app at a convenient time between noon on the specified delivery date and 8:00 the next morning*. 3.
Lawson regards the reduction of food loss as an extremely important issue, and is working to reduce food loss through various ingenuity. In particular, discount sales of products within the sell-by date have been carried out at the discretion of each store since its
establishment, and currently about 90% of stores are doing it. This time, with the aim of further reducing food loss, we will use the Cookpad Mart system and mart stations installed in stores to conduct a demonstration experiment to sell expired products at discounted prices.

■ About the demonstration experiment
In this demonstration experiment, 10 desserts that have expired will be sold at a discounted price using mart stations installed in Lawson stores in Tokyo.
After removing from the store the desserts whose sell-by date is midnight on the same day as the expiration date, the store staff will register the product name, quantity, and discount amount in the Cookpad Mart app and store them in a refrigerator. As soon as an order is received from a Cookpad Mart user, the ordered product is transferred to the mart station, and the user receives the product from the mart station at a convenient time.
