Every day, 20 million South Africans go to bed hungry, yet nearly 10 million tons of food are wasted annually.

We plan to solve this mismatch by creating a platform that connect surplus food from hotels, restaurants, supermarkets, coffee shops, bakeries etc. with consumers at discounted prices

Our Simple Idea

What if surplus food from restaurants, bakeries, supermarkets, and coffee shops could be redirected to people at a fraction of the cost? This model has already transformed lives in Europe and North America, saving millions of meals and making sustainable living accessible.

Our Goal

In early 2025, we’re bringing this vision to Stellenbosch, where we’ll connect local students and communities with affordable, surprise meals while helping businesses reduce waste. Starting with coffee shops, bakeries, and supermarkets, our plan is to expand across South Africa by year-end, creating a ripple effect of environmental and social impact.

Our Mission

By rescuing surplus food, we’re not just reducing waste—we’re unlocking value for businesses, making food more affordable for consumers, and championing sustainability. This is a win for the environment, a win for people, and a win for businesses.

At refreshi, we’re turning leftovers into opportunities. Together, we can build a world where every meal counts.
