Studies show that roughly half of all our food goes to waste.  Too Good To Go is an app that allows users to order food from local restaurants at a big discount – food that would otherwise be thrown away.

App users choose from a selection of restaurants, pay through the app and travel to pick up their meal. Restaurants normally offer designated pick-up times for food, usually at closing or after peak eating times. The meals cost between £2 and £3.80. The service provides participating restaurants with recyclable takeaway food containers and includes an option to donate meals to people in need. So far, the app is only available in certain UK cities: Brighton; Birmingham; Manchester and Leeds,  and London.

Anything which cuts food waste and helps people save money has to be a good thing. Might you be able to organise something like this with local restaurants in your area, perhaps splitting the revenue? Something to think about.
