The Household Impact

The average Australian household wastes $2,500 to $3,800 worth of food every year. That's money going straight into the bin.

Environmental Cost

Food waste produces methane, a greenhouse gas 28 times more potent than CO2 - equal to emissions from 4 million cars.

70% Is Perfectly Edible

Most food thrown away is still good to eat. ResQBox Food rescues this surplus before it becomes waste.

Our Mission

We're rescuing surplus food from local restaurants before it goes to waste. Every meal saved means less landfill, reduced emissions, and more affordable meals for Australian families.

About Us

Our Story

ResQBox Food was born from a simple observation: every day, perfectly good food goes to waste while many families struggle to afford quality meals. We saw an opportunity to bridge this gap through technology, creating a marketplace that transforms food waste into savings for everyone.

Founded with a passion for sustainability and community, our platform connects local restaurants, cafes, and bakeries with customers who want great food at great prices. Each rescued meal is a small victory against food waste and a step toward a more sustainable future.

Today, our growing community of partners and customers are proving that doing good for the planet can also be good for your wallet. Together, we're reimagining how surplus food finds its way to those who appreciate it most.

Sustainability First

Every action we take considers its environmental impact. We measure success not just in savings, but in waste prevented.

Community Driven

We believe in the power of local connections. Supporting neighbourhood businesses strengthens entire communities.

Accessible to All

Quality food should be affordable for everyone. We're democratising access to great meals from local venues.

Quality Guaranteed

Every partner is vetted for quality. Surplus doesn't mean subpar - it means delicious food that deserves to be enjoyed.

Acknowledgement of Country

ResQBox Food acknowledges the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we live and work. We pay our deepest respects to Elders past, present, and emerging.

We recognise the continuous connection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to Country, including the sustainable practices they have maintained for tens of thousands of years in caring for the land and its resources. These practices of minimal waste and deep respect for natural systems inspire our mission today.

We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded and that this always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land. We are committed to listening, learning, and supporting the ongoing journey toward reconciliation.
