Can you imagine being able to eat well, save money and at the same time help the planet? That's what I was wondering until I came across Cheaf, the application that came to transform the way we consume food.
In times where the price of food rises every day and waste continues to be an urgent environmental problem, Cheaf appears as a conscious alternative to consumption.
The system is very simple: restaurants, bakeries, grocery stores or cafes usually have surplus products that they are unable to sell during the day, but are in perfect condition to be consumed, so instead of throwing them away, they offer them through this app at much lower prices -up to 70% discount-, so users can buy gastronomic "surprises" at an affordable value and pick up their order at the store. These "surprises" are due to the fact that you do not know exactly what you are going to receive, as you may get a box of freshly baked pastries, a home-cooked meal or an assortment of grocery products, so for those who love to try new things or adapt easily, it is ideal.
This form of conscientious consumption is beneficial for everyone: businesses recover part of their investment, users have access to quality food at a good price, and everyone contributes to reducing the environmental impact of food waste.
The app is already available in several Argentine cities, and more and more stores are joining this movement, from coffee shop chains, to supermarkets, to small businesses. It is also very easy to use: you register, choose your area, search for available offers, place your order from your cell phone and pick it up at the store.
Cheaf proves that technology can be a great ally when it comes to building more responsible habits, since by choosing to save food, we are saying yes to a more conscious and collaborative consumption.
