How Foodbegood Turns Surplus Meals into Community Impact

Use this template whenever you want to document a Foodbegood project for blogs, newsletters, or pitch decks. Focus on three elements—predict, rescue, and measure—and plug in the latest stats from your dashboard so that every post feels current while following a repeatable narrative arc.

1. Forecast demand with real kitchen data

Start by explaining how the featured canteen planned its menu that week. Highlight the insights you pulled from POS data, seat reservations, or weather-aware forecasting. Mention how chefs trimmed overproduction by a percentage figure, then show the exact dishes that still ended up as surplus.

• Signal: “We noticed pasta portions spiked by 18% whenever it rained.”
• Action: “The kitchen capped production at 420 servings and flagged trays for redistribution two hours before closing.”
• Result: “Only 42 portions became surplus instead of the usual 110.”

2. Rescue & redistribute within minutes

Describe how the staff labeled trays, how quickly the meals appeared in the Foodbegood app, and how users or partner organizations picked them up. This is a great place to add a quote from a student, volunteer, or canteen manager who benefited from the process.

3. Measure the ripple effect

Close with impact metrics. Tonnes of food saved, CO₂ avoided, meals sold at solidarity pricing, or euros reinvested into campus services all make the story tangible. Wrap up with a clear CTA—invite the reader to join the waitlist, schedule a canteen demo, or share the article with their operations team.
