Foodsi runs an app that lets people in Poland buy surplus food from restaurants, bakeries, and stores at a discount instead of letting it go to waste.
Foodsi is a Polish app that does one simple thing very well: it helps shops and restaurants sell food they would otherwise throw away. A bakery closes with a few loaves left, a restaurant has extra meals at the end of the day, or a grocery store has items nearing their sell-by date. Instead of tossing that food in the bin, the business lists it on Foodsi at a big discount, and a nearby customer grabs it for cheap.
The way it makes money is straightforward. Foodsi takes a cut of each sale made through the app, so it earns only when a business actually sells food it would have lost anyway. For the shop, that's found money — a small recovery on something worth zero. For the buyer, it's a bargain meal. For Foodsi, it's a slice of every transaction, which means the model scales as more shops and customers join. The company is based in Poland and focuses entirely on the Polish market. The pitch to businesses is that listing surplus food costs them nothing upfront and turns waste into a little cash, while also making them look good on sustainability. The pitch to consumers is even simpler: cheap, decent food near you, rescued from the trash. That two-sided appeal is what has helped Foodsi grow a customer base and sign up partner shops across Polish cities.
The obvious risk is that this is a crowded idea. Competitors chase the same surplus-food niche, and the whole business depends on having enough merchants and enough hungry app users in the same place at the same time. Food waste is a real and growing problem, though, and Foodsi's bet is that rescuing it can be a genuine business rather than just a nice gesture.
