A surplus-food app could let restaurants offer a defined quantity for collection within a short window. Availability must update as orders are accepted so the same portion is not sold twice.
Listings need clear provider information, collection instructions and accurate descriptions of what is known about the food. Allergen and food-safety responsibilities remain with the relevant business. Customers should understand any genuine uncertainty about the exact contents before purchase.
Pilot a few venues and test a smaller-than-expected surplus and a missed collection. Agree cancellation and refund handling in advance. The software can support discovery and allocation, but it should not encourage businesses to make unsupported safety claims or assume every unsold item is suitable for redistribution.
