About food sharing service “TABETE”
This is an app that matches users with foods that are still delicious and safe to eat at restaurants, but are at risk of becoming food waste. There are currently approximately 790,000 users and
approximately 2,700 registered stores nationwide. When users use “TABETE” to shop at a great deal, they support the store’s “sell-out” efforts, which leads to a reduction in food waste. [Image 2
* “TABETE” compares the purchase of food to a “rescue”, and refers to a store’s listing as a “rescue request” and a user who purchases food as a “rescue member.”
