Real-Time Food Redistribution For Events
FoodSafe connects event organizers with verified NGOs to rescue surplus food in real-time. We bridge the gap between food surplus and food insecurity through technology, ensuring quality-assured meals reach those who need them before they go to waste.
The Problem We Solve
India generates massive amounts of surplus food from events, weddings, corporate functions, and social gatherings—while millions go hungry. The disconnect between surplus and need creates unnecessary waste.

Why Surplus Food Doesn't Reach Those in Need
Perishable food has a narrow window. Without real-time coordination, surplus expires before reaching distribution centers.
Event locations and NGOs often lack visibility into each other's needs and availability. Manual coordination fails at scale.
Without verification and accountability, both donors and NGOs hesitate to participate. Quality and safety concerns persist.

Our system automatically calculates safe consumption windows based on food type, preparation time, and storage conditions. Listings automatically expire when safety thresholds are crossed.
NGO Verification
All NGOs complete a multi-step verification process including government registration checks, site visits, and food safety compliance verification before activation.
OTP Pickup Confirmation
Every pickup requires a unique OTP verified by the donor. This ensures only the assigned NGO receives the food and creates a verifiable chain of custody.

Every action on the platform is logged with timestamps. From food listing to pickup completion, complete transparency ensures accountability at every step.
