Working in a restaurant I encounter a lot of food. As I am constantly scraping, what I consider perfectly good food, off peoples plate straight to the trash, I often find myself saying "what a waste." Though there is no quick fix to recovering leftover food off of customers already picked over plates, there is a great new solution to recover leftover food from restaurants, caterers, conventions, etc. The answer is in a student created iphone app that allows restaurants, caterers, and conventions to notify local community organizations when they have excess food that they would otherwise throw out. Though this far from solves the solution for food waste, but it is a positive step in the right direction toward a smarter, less wasteful society.
