SINGAPORE — Diners who are keen to buy unsold food from eateries at up to 80 per cent off the retail price before closing time, instead of letting it go to waste, can tap a new mobile phone application. The new app, called Yindii, was launched in August and aims to beef up efforts to reduce food waste by eateries. Customers who use the app can order a «surprise bag» in advance, and they can get any type of unsold food from the menu at day's end for between 50 per cent and 80 per cent off the usual retail price. The app touts itself as a «high-quality food surplus marketplace», and it already has tie-ups with popular restaurants, cafes and bakeries, including Paul, Baker & Cook and SaladStop!. Founded in 2020, the app is also available in Hong Kong and Thailand. Yindii co-founder and chief marketing officer Mahima Rajangam Natarajan said: «We chose to launch in Singapore because it's a forward-thinking city with a growing focus on sustainability and reducing food waste.» Read more
