Food Waste-Preventing Ordering Apps

The challenge is enormous

It is estimated that up to 40% of all food in the United States goes to the landfill, while restaurants alone account for 133 billion pounds of that waste annually—as a result, apps like goMkt are stepping up to the challenge to curb food waste in affordable and efficient ways.

goMkt is an ordering platform that saves consumers money with up to 75% discounts on menu items in local restaurants, cafes, and coffee shops. Retailers post their unsold inventory on the goMkt platform, while users receive push notifications or simply browse meal availability in nearby stores. In optimizing this experience, goMkt is not only successful in being environmentally friendly and cost-effective, but it also increases revenues at no extra cost by driving foot traffic to its partners and thus, supporting small and local businesses.
