Sale or return, two drops a week
We fill your fridge
Start on 10 to 15 bowls a week. We drop twice a week and top up as they sell.
Members pay £9.00
The same price as online. You take the money at your desk or till.
You keep 15%
That's £1.35 on every bowl sold. Once a month we invoice you the other 85%: £7.65 a bowl.
Unsold comes back
We collect it before its use-by date, and you only pay for what sells. The plan: it goes to a local charity that feeds people who need a meal.
What you earn
15% of every bowl you sell, £1.35 a bowl, with nothing to buy up front. Here's what that adds up to over a year.
- £1,053 a yearSelling 15 bowls a week: £1.35 × 15 × 52.
- £2,106 a yearSelling 30 bowls a week: £1.35 × 30 × 52.
Before the fridge's electricity (about £210 a year) and the card fees on what you take. An example, not a promise: it depends on how many bowls your members buy.
A free fridge, in our colours
We lend you a lockable, glass-door display fridge of about 218 litres, branded Forty Grams. We deliver it, install it and pay for any repairs. It stays ours.
- Free at 15 a weekIt stays free while you sell at least 15 bowls a week, averaged over four weeks, once you're past an eight-week start.
- Reviewed below 15If sales drop below 15 a week, we'll look at it together. Below 10 a week for eight weeks, we collect it.
- You pay the powerIts electricity is about £210 a year at today's prices: 58p a day.
Eat it cold, or heat it later
Every bowl is ready to eat cold, straight from your fridge. Members who'd rather have it hot can heat it at home or at work: the instructions are on the label.
No microwave as standard
If a microwave is offered for heating them, the bowls count as hot food for VAT, and at a VAT-registered gym that VAT (£1.50 on a £9 bowl) would be more than your whole 15%.
Not VAT-registered? Ask us.
Heating at home or work
Take out the pots, lift a corner of the lid and microwave until it's steaming hot all the way through, stirring halfway. Times are on every label.
More than a fridge
Stocking us brings online customers to your door, and gives your trainers a way to earn.
A pickup point for online orders
Members can order a pack online and pick it up from your fridge on a drop day, free. That's someone coming through your door with a reason to be there.
Your PTs can earn too
Personal trainers register for a member number and their own code. Their clients get £5 off a first online order of £40 or more, and the trainer earns 50p a bowl for 12 months. Codes work online, not on bowls from your fridge.
Safe, labelled, allergens up front
Cooked, chilled and labelled before it reaches you. Here's what's on every bowl and what's in each one.
- Kept at 0–5°CCooked in a local restaurant kitchen, chilled fast and brought to you in cool boxes.
- Use by 3 daysCounting the day it's cooked. We take every bowl out before its date, never after.
- Labelled in fullIngredients with allergens in bold, the use-by date, storage and heating instructions, and the macros on the lid.
| Bowl | Contains |
|---|---|
| Chicken Poke 40 | Milk, soya, sesame, wheat (gluten) |
| Chipotle Beef 40 | Milk, sulphites |
| Paneer Tikka 40 Vegetarian | Milk |
Made in a kitchen that handles all 14 allergens
That includes nuts and peanuts, so we can't promise any bowl is free from them. Members with an allergy should check the label, or email us before they buy at hello@40grams.co.uk.
Quick questions
What does it cost us to start?
Nothing up front. We lend the fridge, deliver it and stock it. You pay its electricity and the card fees on what you sell.
What if the bowls don't sell?
That's on us. It's sale or return: anything unsold comes back before its use-by date, and you only pay for what sells.
How do we pay you?
Members pay you £9.00 a bowl at your desk or till. You keep 15% (£1.35 a bowl), and once a month we invoice you the other 85% (£7.65 for each bowl sold).
What does the fridge need?
A spot near a plug socket. It's an upright, glass-door fridge of about 218 litres, and it locks for when nobody's on the desk.
Do we need to register with the council?
Selling food usually means registering with your council as a food business, at least 28 days before you start. It's free, and we'll help you with it.
How far do you deliver?
We supply gyms within 20 miles of our kitchen, with two drops a week.
We're a farm shop, not a gym. Can we stock you?
Yes, on the same sale-or-return terms. The free fridge is for gyms, so you'll need space in your own fridge at 0–5°C. Use the form below.
