Eatme
Website and mobile app through which unsold food can be bought from caterers
DescriptionOverview of the initiative and its approach.

Caterers post their discounted dishes on the website and app, with information on when the customer can pick up their order. The user receives push notifications about nearby offers, finds a suitable promotion, places their order, makes the payment online and picks up their order from the restaurant or cafe.
