Save a Bite App Turns Food Waste Into Cash | Honolulu News

A new app called Save a Bite is turning restaurant food waste into profit—and fun—for both businesses and customers. By selling leftover meals as mystery “blind boxes” at a discount, it helps local eateries like Matsumoto’s Okazuya and Oceanside Bakery clear inventory, cut waste, and attract new patrons. Since launching in June, over 6,000 users have downloaded the app, placing more than 700 orders across 23 spots on Oahu. Owners like bakery boss Fanny Queloz love how it saves fridge space, recoups costs, and turns surplus into satisfaction—proving sustainability and savings can go hand in hand.
