Too Good To Go It’s an app that helps fight food waste. On this app, you can buy a magic box from your restaurant, coffee shop or even hotel of choice, and then go and pick up your order. The prices are usually super cheap, and you are buying what these restaurants didn’t sell that day (not leftovers from someone else, don’t worry). The downside of the app is that you can never know for sure what will be in your magic box until you go pick it up, and the fact that the time to go pick up your order is usually past lunch or dinner time hour (for example, if you want to reserve a magic box for dinner, you will only be able to pick up your order around 21h/22h // 9pm/10pm)
