Ahh that's a shame. We used it a fair bit for bakery stuff. Can't blame them though if the margins are that thin. Tough spot.
knew it wouldn't last. business model was too good to be true. cheap food sounds great but someone's gotta pay the bills.
Never even heard of this app. guess that explains why it failed 😂
yeah nah the UX was a dealbreaker. plus half the time the food was already gone by the time you got there.
Nooo this was the only way I could afford decent food as a student 😭 things are already expensive enough as it is
Shame, but honestly the UX was crap. Kept crashing on my phone. Still, any food waste reduction is a loss. Hope someone else picks up the idea.

same. good idea, bad execution. typical kiwi startup story
Restaurants probably couldn't be bothered with the faff. Like handing over short-dated stock for pennies while paying staff to pack it.
Watch some other startup clone it in 6 months and call it innovation. Rinse and repeat.
just hit up the local foodbank or neighbourly. plenty of free food if you look.
it was still better than nothing though. now i'm back to eating toast for dinner
price of everything going up and another option gone. classic 2026.
lol yeah right. like that's sustainable. you'd get sick of tinned spaghetti after day 3.
