Fighting Food Waste with Apps

Too Good To Go is now in OC and LA but there are very limited options. Our mission? To make sure good food gets eaten, not wasted. Every day, delicious, fresh food goes to waste at cafés, restaurants, hotels, shops and manufacturers - just because it hasn’t sold in time. The Too Good To Go app lets customers buy and collect Surprise Bags of food - at a great price - directly from businesses.

So far they just have coffee shops and donut shops (mostly). In Singapore they have similar service “fighting food waste” where you can go get a box of food from some of the high end buffets. You get one box and you cannot eat it on premises. Interesting to see where this goes.

Looks like you have to install the app to see what they’ve got. Are there any interesting places on the list?

LA has some good options. Tartine. Civil Coffee. Lots of egg whites at Doubting Thomas. Laduree.

It mostly looks like restaurants or coffee shops trying to get rid of baked goods.

SF has the best selection from what I’ve seen. A bunch of real restaurants. Mexican, Chinese, Indian, Mediterranean and sandwich shops. I’d be curious to see what people actually receive in the surprise bags and if this catches on.
