Market research: Food waste is a never-ending problem

We interviewed 30 restaurants/grocery stores and more than 300 users. It was found that more than 30% of total surplus food would be left per day for most of the restaurants, but around 80% of them didn't take any actions to reduce the surplus food. They would rather throw them away due to convenience. Other than that, for users, 54.4% of respondents are willing to purchase leftover food from restaurants during non-peak hours. We were surprised by the market gap exiting through this research and believed Eatchy is doing its part.

Launching of our platform

There have been ups and downs when implementing our idea into action, however, we finally launched our platform. Our web app provides the platform for one to access the information of the nearby restaurants and involve everyone in food saving. We hope to sustain this win-win-win situation and make Hong Kong a better place with Eatchy!
