Your stall’s Foodprint

Foodprint shows the local-economy and environmental impact attributable to every revenue order your stall has shipped. It's the same maths customers see on their personal dashboard, scoped to your stall — and it gives you a press-ready story for newsletters, Instagram, and the chalkboard at the market.

Where to find it

Open your merchant dashboard, then Outreach → Foodprint in the side nav. Direct link: /merchant/dashboard/foodprint.

What you see

  • Four headline tiles — kept local £, food miles avoided, kg CO₂ saved, producers supported — totalled across every revenue order your stall has shipped.
  • Customers supporting you — distinct buyer count, with the total number of orders placed across them.
  • Customers by region — the ITL1 region your customers live in. Useful for planning where to take a market stall, or where to add a delivery route.
  • Top three regulars — first name + postcode area only, ranked by spend. Helps you spot your most loyal customers without exposing more PII than you need.

Share with your customers

There's a paste-ready one-liner at the bottom of the page — drop it into your newsletter, Instagram caption, or chalkboard at the stall. Example: "Thanks to our 47 regulars on Parish Larder, we've kept £4,210 of food spending local and saved roughly 210 kg of CO₂ vs supermarket equivalent." It updates whenever the page is loaded, so the numbers are always current.

How your stall’s numbers fit the platform total

Every stall foodprint rolls up into the platform foodprint shown at /foodprint. Customers visiting that public page see your stall counted in the country and region totals where your customers live — so growing your reach grows the platform total too.

Why we use conservative numbers

Same heuristics as the customer dashboard — Pretty et al., Defra and Carbon Trust calibrations rounded down at every step. The goal is a number you can defend in front of a journalist, not a number that looks impressive in a press release. Full methodology + source constants are linked from the public /foodprint page.
