Bristol restaurant featured in top independent food waste fighting businesses of 2019

Saving a combined total of 24,385 meals from going to waste between them, the top ten independent food waste fighting stores of 2019.

The top independent stores list has been calculated by identifying the stores that have saved the most meals from going to waste in 2019 from the ten biggest food waste fighting cities in the UK. 

On revealing the top independent stores, Jamie Crummie, co-founder of Too Good To Go UK, said: “Independent partners are the backbone of our UK business. When I first started knocking on the doors of restaurants and retailers back in 2015, it was independents that were first to take the leap into fighting food waste with us. That’s why it is important that we recognise their contribution to the efforts to prevent perfectly edible food ending up in the bin, and we can’t think of a better time to do this than when celebrating small businesses on Small Business Saturday.” 

Too Good To Go is a social impact company that fights food waste. Building the Movement against food waste, Too Good To Go has the world’s largest B2C marketplace for surplus food. The app connects restaurants and retailers with unsold food with consumers who buy, collect and enjoy it. 

Top independent store Yakinori said: “We're a proud partner of Too Good To Go and are even more proud to named the top independent food waste fighting store in Birmingham this year. It's devastating to see any food end up in the bin so we love that Too Good To Go helps us to make sure as much as possible is enjoyed rather than wasted."
