How the Barakah Food-Saving App Works in Saudi Arabia: Stacking 70% Daily Meal Deals with 20% First-Order Code ATYOJS

Barakah has quickly become one of Saudi Arabia's favorite food-saving apps by connecting diners with fresh daily surplus meals and pastries from top restaurants, cafés, and bakeries at built-in markdowns of up to 70%. Even better, first-time users registering with referral code ATYOJS can stack an extra 20% discount on top of those already-reduced meal prices. Here is how the app works and how to maximize your first-order savings.

Key Takeaways: Stacking Savings on the Barakah App

  • Up to 70% Built-In Deals: Participating restaurants and bakeries list their fresh end-of-day surplus food on Barakah at automatic markdowns of 40% to 70% off menu prices.
  • Extra 20% First-Order Code (ATYOJS): New users entering referral code ATYOJS receive an additional 20% off their first qualifying order on top of the discounted in-app price.
  • SAR 5 Referral Reward: Barakah's referral program also includes eligibility for a SAR 5 (or equivalent) wallet credit once your first qualifying order is completed under app terms.
  • Self-Pickup Saves Delivery Fees: Choosing in-store pickup during the venue's specified collection window eliminates delivery fees entirely.

This guide summarizes available published information. The store or app confirms final prices and code eligibility before payment.

1. The Double-Saving Math: Combining 70% Venue Deals with 20% Code ATYOJS

Many shoppers wonder whether Barakah's 'up to 70% off' headline comes from a coupon code or from the restaurants themselves. On Barakah, the 40%–70% reduction is the base price set by the bakery or restaurant to clear fresh daily surplus before closing.

When you apply new-user referral code ATYOJS on your first order, the app takes an extra 20% off that already-discounted meal price. Here is how the math works in Saudi Riyals:

2. Step-by-Step: How to Claim Code ATYOJS on Your First Barakah Order

Follow these four steps to activate your new-user discount in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, or any covered Saudi city:

  • Step 1 (Open the Referral Link or Copy ATYOJS): Visit our Barakah promo code page and tap the store button to open the invite link, or copy code ATYOJS in uppercase.
  • Step 2 (Set Your Neighborhood): Create a new account in the Barakah app and set your location to browse nearby bakeries, cafés, and restaurants with available bags.
  • Step 3 (Check Pickup vs. Delivery Windows): Review the venue's collection time window and choose between self-pickup or delivery.
  • Step 4 (Verify the 20% Deduction): In your checkout summary, confirm that code ATYOJS is applied and that the extra 20% first-order discount appears before paying via Mada or Apple Pay.

3. Mystery Bags, Self-Pickup Tips & First-Order Terms

Many cafés and bakeries on Barakah offer 'Surprise Bags' (Mystery Bags)—curated assortments of fresh baked goods and desserts from that day's production priced at a fraction of retail value. Because inventory is strictly limited each day, checking the app in the afternoon or early evening gives you the best selection.

New users entering referral code ATYOJS can check the extra 20% first-order discount and SAR 5 reward terms directly in their checkout summary. If you want standard on-demand restaurant delivery from full menus instead, see our guide on how Keeta's SAR 150 welcome vouchers & referral code work.

Zero Delivery Cost with Self-Pickup

If a participating bakery or café is along your daily commute, select the 'Pickup' option in Barakah to keep 100% of your meal and promo code savings with zero delivery fee.
