Allresto, the Munich airport subsidiary responsible for most of the airport's food and beverage operations, has launched a pilot project to test a new app dubbed Too Good To Go. This digital platform lets airport visitors, passengers and employees order surplus food prepared by restaurants and other food service establishments at special reduced prices for pick-up between 0800 and 2130. The first restaurant at the airport to join the pilot project is Surf & Turf.
The app is the brainchild of a Danish start-up and is now up and running in nine countries. So far more than 10,000 food service locations and over 5m users have been won over by the idea of reducing waste by selling extra food at reduced prices. After logging on, users see a list of participating stores with offers in their area, including prices. The app also processes orders and payments. When an order is placed, the meal is ready for pick-up at the store or restaurant location within the indicated time window.
