'Too Good To Go' to waste? There's an app for that

Born out of the mission to help reduce food waste across the globe, the Too Good To Go app inspires and empowers everyone to help fight food waste together. It works by connecting stores that have surplus food with local users who can purchase it at a greatly reduced price.

Australia faces a staggering food waste issue with more than 7.6 million tonnes discarded annually, of which 70% is still edible. Since August 2024, Too Good To Go users have saved over 1,000,000 meals.

Currently, more than 40% of the food produced on our planet is wasted. Too Good To Go's mission is to help halve Australia’s food waste by 2030, and move towards a more sustainable future.

How the Too Good To Go app works
1. Discover surplus food nearby: Users browse the Too Good To Go Marketplace app to find nearby stores with available surplus food.
2. Reserve a surprise bag: Users select a store, reserve a Surprise Bag, and pay securely through the app.
3. Collect your food: Users visit the store within the designated pick-up window, show their in-app receipt, and collect their Surprise Bag to enjoy.

“From a business perspective, Too Good To Go is a win-win-win model: businesses make money from their surplus food, consumers get access to good food at great value for money, and together we all help tackle climate change by reducing food waste,” says Joost Rietveld, Too Good To Go Country Director of Australia.

"In fact, 41% of customers purchase additional items when collecting a Surprise Bag," Joost adds. "Businesses are also able to reach a whole new cohort of customers with 61% noting they only visited the store because of their Surprise Bag collection.”
