Project Overview

Food wastage is a severe problem in Singapore, and the amount of food waste has grown by 20% in the past 10 years. Current solutions include informal “buffet clearer” Telegram groups, which are not scalable and susceptible to spam. As such, we have created “Gobbler”, a centralized platform for users to post leftover food, and for other users to reserve a slot to take the leftover food. This will help to reduce the food wastage problem from the ground up.
