Unused-Wholesale-Food-Redistribution-

Inspiration: As more and more people grapple with the scarcity of supermarket goods, there are a lot of wholesale food sellers that have not been able to sell their food that would normally cater to hotels, airlines, high end restaurants across the world. The sales from these wholesales has dropped as much as 70%.

In order to avoid waste and to get the word out to people in need, small businesses that are struggling to find food and charities my project consists of the following:

  1. Create a universal platform that will allow wholesales to sign up to sell their goods and connect them with potential customers. The sign up web page will request the following information:

    • company
    • products/goods
    • location
    • price
    • optional: send food to charity
  2. On the other end, individuals, businesses and/or charities will be able to sign up on a web based sign up page. They will provide the following information:

    • name
    • individual/business/non-profit
    • location
  3. Platforms for payment and delivery would be included to complete the logistic chain.

The platform will connect wholesalers and individuals/ businesses/charities to redistribute unsold food in an efficient way, which is a problem on both ends.

Currently the supply chain does not exist for this, lets build something together to fill the gap that is very much needed.
