Bharola's split preview: what each member gets from a haul of kale, peppers and lemons, with the spare kale cases going to different members
The real split preview, with sample members.

How a group buy works

Buying by the case is cheaper and fresher. Bharola makes buying as a group simple, so nobody has to buy a whole pallet alone.

  1. 1

    Members chip in

    One flat monthly amount, paid online. That money is the group's buying pool.

  2. 2

    The group buys wholesale

    Organizers buy whole lots from local growers at farm prices, when produce is at its best.

  3. 3

    Every haul is split by share

    Bharola splits each haul based on members' shares, down to the last case, and you preview it before it's final.

  4. 4

    Pick up at your hub

    Members get an email with their share and pickup times, then give their name at the hub.

Fair by design

Fair shares, with payments, costs and carryover tracked.

  • Splits worked out for youCases, kilograms or pounds: each haul is split based on members' shares, and the odd case goes to a different member each time.
  • Payments and haul costsWho paid for which month, and what each haul cost: produce, transport and running the pickup hub.
  • CarryoverAnything not spent this month carries into the next. A member who pauses has their payment moved to when they're back.

For organizers

Everything to run a group buy, in one place

Your group gets its own site with your name and logo. Bharola tracks payments, haul costs and carryover, so you can focus on the food.

Payments by e-Transfer

Members send an e-Transfer and tap "I've sent it". You confirm it in one tap, and it counts toward the right month. Cash works too.

Hauls in minutes

Enter what arrived, preview the split, lock it. Members are notified with their share and pickup window.

Pickup check-in on any phone

Volunteers sign in on their phone and tick members off. A printable roster is there if the signal drops.

In your members' language

Pages, emails and alerts in English or Punjabi, or English only if that's what your group needs.

Many pickup hubs

Each hub keeps its own members, hours and volunteers, all in one group buy.

Your members stay yours

Each group is fully separate. Member details are private to the group that collected them.
