Victoria restaurants join app that rescues dumpster-destined food waste and sells it cheap
Kashani says any business that produces food is invited to sign up and start selling food that would otherwise go to waste.
“The first day that we signed up, we got onto the app, we sold a bag within an hour. People are extremely excited, they’re excited to try something new at a lower price point, because our first point is kind of high,” said Leah Appel. “So people who wouldn’t usually try our stuff, maybe it’s more in reach for them.”Sign up for the CHEK Now daily email newsletter to get breaking news and the day's top stories sent to your email.
