I tried this app and while I love the concept I think the implementation is trash.
My biggest complaint when I tried it was that you couldn't specify dietary restrictions, like there's not even a simple vegetarian option which would be so easy for many restaurants to accommodate. This app might be ok if you're happy eating any slop the restaurant can't sell that day, but if you have literally any preference then too bad.
Then there's also the issue of some restaurants that intentionally make extra food so they can sell it on the app. I don't have a solution to this one, but it's a problem that needs to be addressed if the point of the app is to reduce food waste.
From my own experience, it's down to the restaurant / shop to offer a vegetarian option, TGTG doesnt tell the restaurant what to offer, so maybe see if you can get your favorite places to offer a vegetarian / vegan / etc bag. A grocery store in my area offer a vegan breakfast almost every day. As for what TGTG should do, maybe they could add filters and tags so you can filter out your preferences. That would be cool.
Vegan breakfast option sounds so nice! When I tried it there weren't any participating vegetarian or vegan restaurants in my city of 3 million people. Restaurants would have listings on the app that were for example, "You'll get a large box of random food that might be fries, grilled chicken, salad, soup of the day or any mix of those!"
