Fishmongers
What came in today, in your shop
before you lift the shutter.
You publish your board from your phone when you get back from the fish market: what there is, at what price and how you leave it cleaned. Your customer orders, chooses their slot and pays. What hasn't come in today can't be ordered. No Don Barrio commission per order.
From your phone, when you get back from the fish market. You switch on what has come in and tap the day's price.
In loins, sliced, headless or butterflied. It comes decided in the order.
Don Barrio doesn't take a percentage of your sales. If the customer pays online, the payment provider's fee applies separately.
Let's be straight
Your catalogue is decided by the fish market.
And it changes every morning.
No other trade sells something different today from what it sold yesterday, at a different price. That's why ordinary online shops don't work for you: they ask for a fixed catalogue, and yours lasts a day.

“I can't have an online shop: I don't know what I'll be selling tomorrow.”
Your shop is a board, not a catalogue. Two minutes from your phone when you get back from the fish market and today's stock is published.
“The price per kilo is set by the auction, and today's isn't yesterday's.”
Each species can carry a price of the day. You change it, it's published instantly and the customer sees what they'll pay.
“‘Shall I clean it for you?’ is half a conversation for every piece I sell.”
The cleaning arrives written: whole, headless, in loins, sliced or butterflied. You just do it.
This is what your customer sees
Today's stock, with today's price and its collection slot.
By the kilo, by the piece or by the net, however you sell. What hasn't come in today doesn't appear, and what sells out closes itself. Try it: it's a fishmonger's example shop.
- Look at your board
- Choose and say how they want it
- Book their slot
- Pay the estimate
Choose from today's board. The cleaning is decided in the next step.
Today's board
You get back from the fish market, and your shop already knows what there is.
On the left, your board: you switch on what has come in and switch off what hasn't. On the right, what your customer sees at that very moment. No catalogues that go stale the next day.
One morning, two ways
You get back from the fish market at seven. The shop opens at nine.
Those two hours are what you have to tell the neighbourhood what's in. Today it's told in chalk on the board by the door; and whoever doesn't walk past doesn't find out.
- Only whoever walks past your door finds out.
- Nothing is sold: it all depends on people coming.
- And whoever asks about the sole has to be told there's none today.
- What's left at two gets sold off cheap or thrown away.
- The whole neighbourhood sees it, not just whoever walks past your door.
- 31 orders sold before you lift the shutter.
- Nobody orders what isn't there: the sole doesn't appear today.
- And what's left over is sold at the last minute, not thrown away.
The morning notice
Whoever buys fish buys twice a week.
And they want to know what's come in today before deciding what to have for dinner. That notice, with your name, is what puts you ahead of the supermarket.
Good morning, Amalia,
We've just come from the fish market. Today there's lovely line-caught hake at €18.90 a kilo, sardines for the grill and prawns from Huelva. No sole came in today.
If you like, we'll leave it cleaned as usual, in loins, and you collect it in the slot you choose.
Kind regards,
Manu, from La Marea

“I publish the board at seven from the car. By nine I've got thirty orders in and I know what I'll have left over: nothing.”
