Project Summary:
GitFood is an innovative food waste management and donation platform designed to connect restaurants, caterers, and event organizers with NGOs and volunteers. Its goal is to minimize food waste and ensure surplus food reaches people in need.
The app enables donors to post details of leftover food, automatically matches them with nearby receivers, and coordinates volunteer pickups in real-time. It also includes features like AI-powered freshness detection, event-based food estimation, waste analytics dashboards for restaurants, and composting integration for expired food.
GitFood not only promotes sustainability but also brings transparency and efficiency to the food redistribution process — turning potential waste into valuable resources that serve communities.
