Rethink Food Waste
About us
At Foodtel, we're driving real-world impact for our planet and society. We were founded on the insight that every day, huge amounts of perfectly good food are thrown away - not because they’re not consumable, but for a whole range of other reasons, such as overproduction, inventory issues, strict quality standards, poor packaging, temperature deviations, or short best-before dates. All the wrong reasons, if you ask us.
We’re not fans of waste - not food waste, not wasted time, and not wasted opportunities. That’s why we at Foodtel works to make a real difference.
We came into this game to change all of that by challenging the status quo and making sure already - produced food is saved, not wasted.

The Foodtel Way
We’re not only a Social Impact Scale Up, with a burning passion for saving already-produced food. Above all else, we're a company filled with unlike-minded people who constantly turn our food-saving dreams into reality and are the creators of a remarkable company culture.
The Foodtel way is all about being human, caring for each other, disrupting to challenge the status quo, and taking action to make things happen because, at the end of the day, food doesn't save itself.
