SaveEat is India's innovative food-saving app that aims to combat food waste in the vibrant hospitality industry. With a mission to create a sustainable future and foster a zero-food waste India, SaveEat is set to revolutionize our approach to food consumption. India, known for its diverse culinary landscape, unfortunately, witnesses tons of fresh and tasty food being wasted daily in the hospitality sector due to reasons like over-preparing and fewer orders. SaveEat recognizes this problem and is determined to turn it into an opportunity for change.

The SaveEat app empowers users to access fresh and delicious food at affordable prices while also reducing the environmental impact caused by unsold meals. Rather than waiting for food to reach its shelf life, SaveEat encourages consumption before that point. Founder & CEO Sneh Binny acknowledges the concerning issue of unnecessary disposal of perfectly consumable food and presents SaveEat as a practical and innovative solution benefiting restaurants, consumers, and the environment. Inspired by successful brands like Too Good To Go, Karma, Olio, and Flashfood, SaveEat has arrived in India with a resounding commitment to making a lasting impact on the nation's food loss crisis.

SaveEat works hand in hand with restaurant owners to ensure that perfectly edible food finds its way to people's plates by facilitating the sale of meals at unbelievable discounts before their shelf life expires. This approach enables eateries to sell everything they prepare daily, ensuring zero wastage. If meals are not sold in time, possibly before the store closes for the day, SaveEat also helps facilitate the donation of food, ensuring it is consumed when it is perfectly edible.

By using SaveEat, consumers not only enjoy incredible savings on their favourite dishes but also actively contribute to a greener planet. The app offers a vast selection of cuisines and an ever-growing network of participating restaurants, making it the go-to platform for those seeking affordable and sustainable food options. SaveEat is committed to building a community-driven movement that helps individuals save food, save money, and save the Earth all at once!

Furthermore, SaveEat has received the prestigious "Best Concept of the Year" award at the esteemed Food Connoisseurs India Convention 2023, recognizing its innovative approach and significant impact in combating food waste. To support the SaveEat initiative and promote sustainable living, we encourage individuals, businesses, and organizations to join this movement. Together, we can champion the reduction of perfectly edible surplus food, protect the environment, and foster a healthier, more equitable society.

SaveEat is currently available on Android and will be launching for iOS users next month. For more information, please visit https://saveeat.in/.
