Impact served
daily.
We connect restaurants and supermarkets with surplus food to verified NGOs — turning disposal costs into community impact and ESG proof.
Zero food wasted. No one goes hungry.
How rescue works
Four steps. Surplus food moves from businesses to communities in hours, not days.
Donor lists surplus
A restaurant or supermarket logs surplus inventory — time, quantity, category — in under two minutes.
NGO claims & coordinates
Verified recipient organisations browse available donations, claim what they can collect, and confirm pickup logistics.
Food moves, fast
Collection windows are tight to protect food quality. The platform tracks status from listed to collected.
ESG report generated
Donors receive verified impact data — meals provided, CO₂ saved, food rescued — ready for B-BBEE and sustainability reporting.

Good food. Good people.
Greater good.
The Giving Plate Group is a social enterprise built on the belief that South Africa's surplus food crisis and its food insecurity crisis are the same problem, just in different hands.
Impact before profit
Every product decision is measured against community and environmental outcomes first.
Radical transparency
Donors, recipients, and the public can see exactly how much food has been rescued.
Dignity in giving
The platform treats recipients as partners, not charity cases.
ESG integrity
We only generate impact claims we can verify. Every number is traceable.
