Monthly memberships for food shops
Turn The Weekly Shop Into Money Spent With You.
Your regulars already spend forty or fifty pounds a week somewhere. Let them put it aside with you instead, and get more back than they paid. You know the month’s takings before it starts, and they shop where the money already is.

Spent down the road instead
The shop they do every week is the one they do nearest the money.
A food shop does not lose a customer all at once. It loses a fortnight here and a big shop there, to whoever is convenient that week. A monthly allowance moves that decision to the start of the month and settles it in your favour — the money is already with you.

How it works
How Monthlygo works for food shops.
- 01
Decide what a month is worth
Pay £90, spend £100. The ten pounds is what you are paying for a month of their shopping, and it is yours to set — a tighter margin on a bigger plan, if you like.
- 02
Say what happens to what they don’t spend
It can run out at the end of the month, carry into the next one, or keep carrying over until they use it. Members are told which before they join.
- 03
Code at the till
They show it, you scan it, and it says what they have left to spend. Take it off the total and ring the rest up exactly as you do now.
- 04
Paid monthly
One payment a month into your own Stripe account, on the first, before anybody has walked in.

An illustration, not a forecast: it assumes every membership is paid in full each month. You set your own prices, and nobody is guaranteed to join.

What your customers see
They know what they have before they pick up a basket.
The code on their phone shows what is left this month, and so does the till when you scan it. Nobody has to ask, and nobody is told at the counter that they have run out.
- What’s left to spend, on their phone, before they come in.
- Part-paid shops work: the allowance covers what it covers and the rest goes on the card.
- Money they don’t spend follows the rule you set, and the date is on the pass.
For the business
What changes when your customers pay monthly.
The month’s takings, on the first
Sixty members on a ninety-pound plan is £5,400 in the account before the shutters go up. The week’s ordering stops being a guess.
They spend it where they put it
An allowance is only good in your shop. It is not a wallet, it does not come out as cash, and it does not follow them down the road.
Nothing new at the till
Scan the code, see what is left, take it off the total. No new terminal and no change to how the rest is rung up.
You set what a month is worth
The price, the allowance and what happens to the remainder are all yours. So is the margin between the two.
What a plan can cover
- Fresh produce
- Meat and fish
- Store cupboard
- Frozen
- Drinks and household
Each can use a different share of the month, so a longer shop can count as two.
Questions
What food shops ask us.
No. A spending allowance is what a membership is worth at your shop this month, in the same way four haircuts are what a barber’s plan is worth. It is never paid out, never moves to another shop, and never becomes cash.
Your customers already come back.
Put what they already buy on a monthly plan, like £100.00 to spend for £90 a month, and get paid before they walk in.
