My new idea will be called SwiftFood / FoodRun . I did research and this is not available in SG yet. Is implemented in Canada and US and is called FlashFood
Basically is a food saving app . So u know the bakery always around 9 or 9.30 will discount the bread to $1 to quickly sell them. Likewise FairPrice or giant always put up notice for expiring goods with discount but always on paper only .
I want to digitalize these discounts so more ppl can access them , buy them and reduce food wastage for the stores .
In this way , stores reduce food wastage , poor and needy can get more of these items and the general public can save money.
The flow is , i as the customer will search nearby food or bakery and snatch those flash deals and pay with stripe and collect/reserve them.
The stores upon payment will auto deduct from inventory.
