■ 'Too Good To Go' as a New Option for Partner Stores
'Too Good To Go' is not just a food waste reduction app; it provides a new distribution mechanism that gives new value to food that would otherwise be discarded and delivers it to those who need it.
It allows businesses to monetize food that previously incurred disposal costs by offering it at a great value. It also contributes to creating new customer touchpoints, as many users visit stores for the first time through the app.
Furthermore, the 'Surprise Bag' format, a key feature of Too Good To Go, allows stores to flexibly combine daily fluctuating surplus food items for sale, eliminating the need to apply individual discount stickers and reducing operational burden on stores.
Interest is growing among many businesses as a system that achieves not only food waste reduction but also operational efficiency and the creation of new sales opportunities.
Too Good To Go Japan is recruiting partner restaurants and retailers who 'don't want to waste food', 'want to work on reducing food waste', or 'want to create new customer touchpoints'. It will promote partnerships regardless of business type or scale, from locally-rooted individually operated stores to major chain companies.
