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.

Solution

Phaedra Solutions built a mobile app for Food Karma, connecting restaurants with value-conscious customers. Restaurants reduce waste by selling surplus meals at a discount, boosting revenue. Customers enjoy delicious food at lower prices while contributing to a sustainable solution. The app offers: Easy surplus management: Convenient for restaurants and customers. Real-time matching: Connects restaurants with nearby customers seeking discounted meals. Secure payment processing: Ensures a smooth user experience. Food Karma has rescued 1200 tons of food, saved 3 million meals, and reduced CO2 emissions by 1800 tons.

Results

Phaedra Solutions' custom mobile app has been instrumental in supercharging Food Karma's mission to tackle food waste. Here's a glimpse of the positive impact: Food Rescued: 1200 tons of food diverted from landfills. Meals Saved: 3 million meals made available to consumers. CO2 Reduction: 1800 tons of CO2 emissions prevented.
