Challenge
Challenge: Food Waste Epidemic
Globally, a staggering one-third of food goes to waste each year, amounting to a whopping 1.3 billion tons. Food Karma, a food rescue app operating in 225 cities across Sweden, UK, and France, identified this as a major issue with environmental and social consequences.
The Challenge for Restaurants:
Unsold Surplus Food: Restaurants were struggling with leftover, perfectly good food that couldn't be sold, leading to waste and lost revenue.
Limited Solutions: There weren't any existing tools seamlessly integrated with their operations to address this challenge.
Food Karma's Vision:
Food Karma envisioned a solution that would tackle food waste while benefiting both restaurants and consumers.
