Thank you for embarking with us, we're thrilled to have you! Robert McNally, Regional Manager ?? "Joining Flashfood is an exciting opportunity to leverage my decades of retail experience in a way that truly matters. This organization's innovative approach to helping people afford nutritious food while simultaneously reducing environmental impact resonates deeply with my personal values. My leadership skills and interpersonal abilities, honed through years of professional experience and parenthood, position me to make a significant contribution to Flashfood's mission." Alex Otero, Director of People & Culture ?? "I grew up in a family that was very dedicated to not wasting food.? We continue that dedication today and being able to work with a company that is focused on ending food waste is incredibly important to me." Angela Mak Communications Specialist ??

?? The NGA Show recap ?? The Flashfood team is back at work after last week's incredible NGA show in Vegas, our first time with a booth on the show floor. It absolutely blew away any expectations we had, not just in terms of what we achieved as a business, but experiencing the independent grocer community was incredibly uplifting: grounding our company mission in the actual people we're impacting. Some highlights: ?? The #BestBaggerCompetition was electric. For anyone attending next year's event, this is a MUST SEE. The baggers are rockstars and the speeches rival the Oscars. ?? The one and only Carrot Top. We brought him to our booth to co-host a happy hour on the show floor, and later attended his show. He was a great sport: endlessly patient with selfies and signing carrot-shaped stress-balls. Not only a Vegas legend, but a warm and kind person. ?? The energy! The hustle! Our team came together a built a beautiful booth where we hosted hundreds of conversations throughout the event. We're primed and ready to onboard all of our new independent partners.

Congratulations to the wonderful group of students from W. P. Carey School of Business – Arizona State University who won this year's 2025 NGA Student Case Study Competition at The NGA Show. Each group was tasked to build a?sustainability strategy for CLARK'S MARKET, INC an independent grocer based in the Rocky Mountain region in the US. The solution was intended to tackle food waste, as well as to present merchandising strategies that optimized sustainable and eco-friendly products. We are honored to be part of the solution presented in the winning case study and it was a total pleasure watching the students present their hard work with confidence and ease. Congratulations to the winning team, and also all of the participants, who demonstrated commitment to finding solutions for some of the world's most pressing societal issues. We feel pretty good about the next generation! Hats off to the sponsors fairlife, LLC and UNFI. #TheNGAShow2025 Arizona State University

Tomorrow, February 22, is Supermarket Employee Day! ?? We’re taking a moment to celebrate and thank the incredible employees who keep grocery stores running. They show up every day to make sure our communities have more joy and abundance in their lives—and that truly matters. Want to see just how much? We asked Flashfood shoppers to share a message to people who offer Flashfood at our partner stores, and the response was overwhelming! ?? The stories we received were heartfelt, inspiring, and a testament to the impact these team members have on people’s lives. We couldn’t pick just one, so we’re sharing some of our favorites here. Take a look through the slideshow, drop your own story in the comments, and most importantly—show some love to your local supermarket employees tomorrow! ???? #SupermarketEmployeeDay #ThankYou

This is one of the only case studies maybe in the history of my career I was eager to do because the results from the Decagon team are real. It has been completely transformative for our business. We are able to provide fast, high quality support giving our team more time to focus on growing our business. In one day our backlog was addressed and now over 90% of tickets are resolved by Decagon. If you need to rethink your support operations I highly recommend Decagon and the fantastic team Jesse Zhang has built. DM me if you want a connect to their team or to learn more.
