Foodprint connects users to eateries with surplus and imperfect food available for purchase at a discount. Each day the eateries who have partnered with Foodprint upload surplus food items that will otherwise be thrown out. The food is still completely fine to eat and of the same quality as if you’d purchased directly from the store itself. In just a few clicks, you can search for and purchase food items while exploring local eateries and rescuing food from being sent to landfill. In Foodprint you can: - Discover food available using the interactive map or list view - Order and pay for your food - Follow your favourite eateries to receive notifications when they have food available - Filter your search based on your location and dietary requirements - Search specific food items to satisfy your cravings - Leave a review of your experience for the eatery to see - See all previous orders - Invite your friends to join you in rescuing food - Track how much money you saved - Track how much carbon you’ve saved - Securely store your credit card for easy purchasing Why is food waste an issue? Humans overproduce food so much, that we end up throwing ⅓ of it away. This is a huge waste of not only the food but also the resources that went into creating that food such as the land, water, labour and money. What’s worse, is that when food is sent to landfill it decomposes and emits the greenhouse gas methane, which is a huge contributor to climate change. In New Zealand, cafes, restaurants and supermarkets produce 50,000 tonnes of food waste annually. Over 60% of this waste is preventable as the food is still fit for human consumption. Foodprint provides a practical easy-to-use solution that is appealing to users and eateries, allowing both to reduce their foodprint. Together, the Foodprint community rescues food, saves money and helps the environment. ## Key features - Discover surplus food via map or list - Order and pay for food - Follow favorite eateries for notifications - Filter by location and dietary needs - Search for specific food items - Track money and carbon savings - Leave eatery reviews ## Recent user reviews (10 of 39) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/foodprint/id1462596522/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Love the app *2026-03-30, version 2.1.2* Love the app, but just recently it’s been broken. It crashes on the payment window following latest update. Hope it fixes soon ### 1/5 — App crashes *2026-03-30, version 2.1.2* So I tried to place an order at this cafe, they have 11 almond croissants left. I wanted to get 3. And when I was about to place the order, the app crashed. The number of croissants decreased by 3. I tried it again and placed 2 but it crashed again the number of croissants decreased. I tried again until all croissants got sold out. Not sure if there are many people who were placing an order causing the crash but I tried with other products but no use. I can’t place an order. 😭 ### 5/5 — Bohemian Bakery *2026-02-01, version 2.0.5* Easy app to use and quality sour dough purchased. Very happy customer. ### 5/5 — Great concept *2025-12-27, version 2.0.5* Been using this for a few months now, works really well, no problems so far. ### 5/5 — 4.5 star App, 5 star Concept & Support *2025-11-29, version 2.0.5* It just works. Excellence depends on which traders list their items. I’m pleased for them when they don’t list as they sell product and can pay the rent. On the other hand, 5 Choc Fudge Brownies for the price of one? Frozen (NZ) meat and Bakery Goods for half price? Limitation’s appear to be: a) A quite small geofence. It should be at least 10-15km. Not the current (guesstimated) 5km? I get a notification from a favourite but can’t see it as I’m 9km or so away. Also be more useful as most towns and cities (and even some suburbs) bigger than that. Loss of half a star for that. b) Appears to only allow 5 favourites. I’d prefer more. c) (sort of…) Traders actually listing products on here. NOT an issue with the App, but maybe a trader mindset change needed? Example - my local organic shop advertised on FB but not in this App, despite being a member. I was right next door at the bakery picking up my an order. Really? Another with a display of dated products by counter. I was purchasing other items. Would’ve bought if I’d known. Didn’t on principle. I had a dealing with support and that was excellent. A trader had erred on quantity. Foodprint refunded difference immediately and followed up. Trader is now a favourite and sells NZ ethically grown meat. I’ve recommended the App to many people now. Whether for the cheap ’treats’ or yesterday’s essentials, it fits my ethos perfectly. I’ve noticed a review concerned with location. Yes, it needs to be on. But it’s not being amortised and tracked by FB or the ilk. Unless you sign in with that third party obviously. Use your email. ### 5/5 — Delicious discount food *2025-11-05, version 2.0.2* I have rescued a lot of food at a discounted price. I always check the app in the afternoon to see what’s available near me ### 5/5 — Great idea *2025-11-05, version 2.0.2* A great idea and app is easy to use ### 5/5 — Love This App *2025-11-05, version 2.0.2* Love footprint, great to get cheap food and support a completely owned and operated NZ business ### 5/5 — Update is great! *2025-10-17, version 2.0.1* There’s been a new update, it’s working better! Love the concept and have been to so many new cafes and bakeries ### 2/5 — Bug when app doesn’t give notifications *2025-10-08, version 1.8.15* When you put your phone on do not disturb or sleep mode, and you put it back to normal mode once you’re awake, the app no longer gives notifications after that. Only way to fix it for me was to reinstall the app and never be on sleep mode at night. Which is just awful. ## Frequently asked questions about Foodprint ### What does Foodprint do?
