GOODTAKES enables the public to access and purchase “surprise baskets” from eateries at a discounted price. These “surprise baskets” are filled with delicious unsold food from eateries. The “surprise basket” concept brings excitement and fun to users while addressing the unpredictable nature of food waste, giving eateries the flexibility to save food that would otherwise go to waste. It is a win-win-win sustainable solution for consumers, eateries and the environment.

To redistribute unsold food faster and more efficiently, we created a smartphone app to connect with the community by enabling users to access and purchase unsold food instantly. For eateries, they can get on the system and publish the items immediately so they can sell leftovers quickly. We also collect data points which are reflected on a dashboard to help users better understand the food waste and CO2 they have helped to reduce and how eateries could make use of those data points to adjust their supply. We also implement a gamification system on the app such as challenges to educate our users on food waste knowledge and issues, as well as a loyalty system to motivate and encourage our food waste warriors to continue their mission together with friends and share their impacts on every action they take.
