How Daily Foodie works

A simple idea with a powerful impact — connecting people who want great food with businesses that have surplus food.

The Big Picture

Less waste. More value. Better food.

Every day, food businesses prepare more than they sell. Rather than throwing perfectly good food away, Daily Foodie lets them package their surplus into Surprise Bags — sold through our app at a fraction of the original price.

Users browse nearby stores, reserve a bag, pay in the app, and collect during a short window at closing time. It is that simple — and that impactful.

Businesses list surplus

Partners set up a Surprise Bag with a price, collection window and rough description.

Users reserve & pay

Food rescuers browse, tap Reserve, and pay securely in the app.

Food is saved

Instead of heading to the bin, perfectly good food goes to a happy home.

Everyone wins

Businesses earn revenue on surplus. Users get great food for less. The planet benefits.
