About Us

About Daily Foodie

We are South Africa's food rescue marketplace — connecting hungry people with great surplus food from local stores, cafés and restaurants.

Our Mission

Inspire and empower everyone to fight food waste together

Every day, restaurants, bakeries, cafés and supermarkets across South Africa prepare more food than they sell. That perfectly good food — enough for thousands of meals — ends up in a bin. We think that's unacceptable.

Daily Foodie was built to fix that. Our platform lets businesses list surplus Surprise Bags at up to two-thirds off, so shoppers get a great deal and that food gets eaten instead of wasted.

What We Stand For

Our Core Values

Sustainability

Every bag rescued means less methane from landfill, fewer resources wasted, and a healthier planet for our children. Environmental impact is at the heart of every decision we make.

Community

We believe food connects people. By rescuing food together, neighbourhoods become stronger. We back local businesses, support local jobs, and build real relationships.

Affordability

Good food should not be a luxury. Our Surprise Bags let everyone — regardless of budget — enjoy quality meals from great local spots at prices that make sense.
