“I used to throw away forty dollars of pastry every single night. Now it goes to people down the street, and I sleep better.”

Surplus from local businesses, rescued dailyLess waste.
Less waste.
Better food.
Every evening, local bakeries, cafés, pizzerias and restaurants finish with good food unsold. Kneadit turns it into a deal for you and recovered revenue for them — instead of another bag in the bin.

Everything here was made this morning by someone who cares about it. The only thing wrong with it is the hour.
How it works
Three steps, and a whole lot of food saved.
01
Local businesses post what’s left
At the end of service a baker photographs the tray that didn’t sell. Our AI writes the listing — name, allergens, a fair price — in about four seconds.
02
You claim it before closing
Search the way you actually talk — “something gluten-free near me” — and see what’s available within walking distance, with the pickup window on every card.
03
Nothing good gets binned
You eat well for a fraction of the price. The kitchen recovers money it had written off. And a perfectly good meal never sees the inside of a dumpster.
The numbers
Small rescues, enormous totals.
A third of all food produced is never eaten. This is what chipping away at it looks like.
