What is Too Good to Go? It’s a social enterprise that started by two young entrepreneurs, and is helping to reduce food waste in restaurants and stores - by offering great meal deals to diners who sign up to their app.

Hide AdWith food waste becoming an increasing problem in homes and restaurants up and down the country, the Too Good to Go app allows diners to enjoy perfectly good restaurant meals that would otherwise be destined for the bin.
Too Good To Go, which was launched in the UK by Chris Wilson and his best friend Jamie Crummie in 2016, allows food stores, cafes and restaurants to sign up and post the left-over meals that they have at the end of the day and the discounted price they want for them.
The pair, who say the app was inspired by a Danish concept, stated that the businesses involved get to reduce their waste and also have potential new customers try out their food.

Hide AdHow it works: Subscribers can choose from not only restaurants and stores but also bakers who have leftover bread or coffee shops with unsold sweet treats and pastries.
Bigger brands like Yo Sushi! and Patisserie Valerie sit side by side with smaller local companies ensuring users have plenty to choose from, though you won’t know exactly what you’re getting until you pick you up your ‘magic bag’.
With prices ranging from £2- £6 and some great food on offer, the TGTG team say it’s not too much of a gamble for customers and can often lead to some incredible deals.
