Restaurants waste significant amounts of leftover food at the end of each day because staff can no longer take it home for free and customers won't pay for it.

Workarounds Described

• Staff taking leftover food home before disposal
• Throwing away large quantities of unsold food at end of day

Implied Software Gaps

• Automated food surplus redistribution platform connecting restaurants with charities
• End-of-day inventory management system that tracks and redirects surplus food

FoodRescue Connect

A platform that connects restaurants with surplus food to local charities, shelters, and food banks at the end of each business day. It automates scheduling, pickup coordination, and provides tax deduction documentation, turning waste into community benefit while reducing disposal costs.
