Rescuing food in Amsterdam: here's how

In a city with thousands of bakeries, restaurants and shops, good food is left over every single day. That makes Amsterdam one of the easiest places to rescue food with YumBite. Here is how.

Rescuing YumBoxes in Amsterdam

Several businesses in Amsterdam take part in YumBite, from bakeries to supermarkets, and the network is growing. Open the app, enable your location and you instantly see which YumBoxes are ready nearby today: surprise boxes with the shop's daily surplus, always at a minimum 40% discount off the original retail value. You reserve and pay in the app and collect within the pickup window at the shop.

You can rescue a lot outside the app too. At markets like the Albert Cuyp or the Dappermarkt there are often serious end-of-day deals on fresh products. Missing your favourite shop in the app? Tip them via YumBite and we will get in touch with them.
