What is this innovation about?

Krožnik is an App that connects consumers with local food providers to reduce food waste. By offering surplus, yet perfectly edible food at discounted prices (typically at least 50% off) it allows users to enjoy quality meals while preventing unnecessary waste. Through this, Krožnik fosters a culture of responsible consumption while supporting local businesses.

What’s in it for a tourism SME?

Partnering with Krožnik can be particularly interesting for tourism SMEs offering food & beverages. By connecting to the platform, they can minimize food waste. Instead of discarding surplus food, they can make it available to consumers on the platform, generating an income stream from items that would otherwise result in a loss. This commitment to sustainability can further improve SMEs’ reputation among eco-conscious consumers and attract new customers.

Consider that:

Implementing Krožnik requires minimal investment, primarily involving staff training to manage app operations. The platform is user-friendly, facilitating easy integration into daily operations. By joining this initiative, SMEs contribute to reducing food waste, supporting the industry in its sustainability transition.
