Too Good To Go is an app that’s sort of like Seamless but for food that restaurants are going to toss out anyway — and if you can get past the concept, it’s kind of wild.
We tried out a new app that's launched in London recently called Too Good To Go — it's being referred to as the leftover food app. Think of it as Seamless, but instead of getting regular food delivered, you use your phone to reserve leftover food at restaurants.

The way it works is you pick a restaurant in your neighborhood — if there are any that are participate with the app — reserve a spot, and then walk in at the time they tell you to, and pick up your food.
Restaurants in our area usually asked people to come in sometime between 3:30 pm. and 5:30 pm.

The actual process of getting your food is a little awkward. It's a new app, so a lot of the exchange was spent explaining what the app was and then sort of figuring out what we were going to take home.
When you pick a restaurant it doesn't actually tell you what you've ordered. You sort of just show up, explain you ordered with Too Good To Go, and then the restaurant gives you whatever they have leftover from the lunch rush. They just fill up a to-go box with anything and everything they had.
Think of it like a buffet of sort of lukewarm food. That is super cheap, obviously.
