Foodprint connects users to eateries with surplus and imperfect food available for purchase at a discount. Each day the eateries who have partnered with Foodprint upload surplus food items that will otherwise be thrown out. The food is still completely fine to eat and of the same quality as if you’d purchased directly from the store itself. In just a few clicks, you can search for and purchase food items while exploring local eateries and rescuing food from being sent to landfill.
In Foodprint you can:
- Discover food available using the interactive map or list view

- Search specific food items to satisfy your cravings
- Leave a review of your experience for the eatery to see

Why is food waste an issue?
Humans overproduce food so much, that we end up throwing ⅓ of it away. This is a huge waste of not only the food but also the resources that went into creating that food such as the land, water, labour and money. What’s worse, is that when food is sent to landfill it decomposes and emits the greenhouse gas methane, which is a huge contributor to climate change.
In New Zealand, cafes, restaurants and supermarkets produce 50,000 tonnes of food waste annually. Over 60% of this waste is preventable as the food is still fit for human consumption. Foodprint provides a practical easy-to-use solution that is appealing to users and eateries, allowing both to reduce their foodprint.
Together, the Foodprint community rescues food, saves money and helps the environment.

Foodprint FAQ

Is Foodprint legit?
🤔 The Foodprint app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
The app works well if I click on an eatery via notification. However, if I open it and try to scroll it keeps refreshing and I can’t see what’s available. It never used to do this :(
Love the concept and it’s great to see more and more eateries using it.
Missing the point!
I thought the idea was to save food from being wasted and help the community with cheap meals. Certainly not the case in Timaru, cafe’s are charging ridiculous prices. Such a wasted opportunity
I don’t want any notifications!
Not sure why it’s compulsory to ‘Enable Notifications’ or compulsory to enter my phone number. I don’t like registering for things and giving my phone number and I really don’t want notifications. There should be a ‘Skip for now’ option. Too scared to enable notifications in case I can’t stop them!
Love
I Love You
Incredible app. Incredible concept.
So many great eateries to choose from and so mean that the kai doesn’t go to waste. Plus the discounts…
The ux is great too… so many good concepts suffer from rubbish ux but you guys nailed it.
Glitchy
Good app idea and easy to use when it works, but it logs me out randomly and doesn’t send the password reset email when I click for it.
Please stop asking for my location
Cool concept but can the app please please please stop telling me that it barely functions with my exact location every time I open it. I’ve put in the places I like that are nearby, I don’t need to provide my exact GPS coordinates. Closing that alert every time I open it is making me consider just deleting the app.
Brilliant app
Innovative, functional, created to meet the needs of those seeking food, minimising waste, and connecting communities. Awesome!
Highly recommend
A great concept, fab to save food from landfill! The app itself is easy to use and has a modern design. Make sure to favourite eateries to get notifications when food is listed.
Great idea poor execution
9 eateries and only in Auckland. The rest of the country doesn’t matter? Why not work on getting eateries rather than wasting your time on Facebook ads.
