Description
A digitally enabled food sharing platform that connects users with restaurants and food providers to reduce food waste by offering surplus food at discounted prices
Market positioning
Too Good To Go is the world's leading anti-food-waste marketplace, positioning itself at the intersection of sustainability and affordability. It leads the European market and is rapidly expanding in North America, differentiating through its mission-driven brand, large partner network, and the "Magic Bag" surprise format that gamifies the food-saving experience.
Target audience
Eco-conscious consumers seeking discounted surplus food, and food businesses (restaurants, bakeries, supermarkets, hotels, and food manufacturers) looking to reduce food waste and recover revenue from unsold inventory
Use cases
Consumers use the app to discover and purchase "Magic Bags" of surplus food from nearby restaurants, bakeries, cafés, and supermarkets at roughly one-third of the retail price. Businesses use the platform to offload unsold inventory, reduce food waste costs, and attract new customers, while larger enterprise partners leverage B2B consulting and analytics tools for systemic food waste reduction.
