ResQ Club

ResQ Club is a marketplace for surplus food. Restaurants, cafeterias and grocery stores can reduce their food waste - and thus, their carbon 'foodprint' - by selling their surplus food to consumers at a 40-70% discount. For consumers, ResQ is an easy and sustainable way to discover and purchase affordable meals nearby their location. Consumers can discover and purchase meals either via iOS, Android and desktop application and collect those from a restaurant. Around 88 million tonnes of food is wasted annually in the EU alone. The associated costs of this waste is estimated at 143 Billion Euros. Furthermore, the agricultural process that is taking place just to produce surplus food comes at a huge burden to the environment. To us, this is a dramatic market failure.
