This App Lets You Order Unsold Restaurant Food At An Insane Discount

Eliminating food waste has become a major priority in the past few years. A new app, that operates in the UK, is another major step towards that dream as it will let users buy food that restaurants would have thrown away for an insanely discounted price.

Too Good To Go gives users a discount from local restaurants on food that won’t be able to be resold after the end of the business day. All you have to do is log in through the app, pick a restaurant, and pay on your phone.

According to the Telegraph, the restaurant then gives the users a time to pick up their food. This usually falls around closing hours or after the rushes. Users can also donate 1 British pound or more to those in need through the app.

Co-founder James Crummie told Business Green that “600,000 tonnes of food each year” are wasted by the restaurant industry.

Orders cost around 2  to 3.8 British pounds, roughly $2.60 to $5 US, which is a pretty big discount at some of the higher end places where meals could cost three to five times those prices. However, it’s a gamble as you won’t be able to pick exactly what food you get. Patrons will have a an idea, however, of what’s available.

The app is available for both iOS and Android users.
