Introducing Deals... One more way to fight food waste with Olio ??
Hi everyone??
Tessa and Saasha here, co-founders of Olio.
We’ve got a bumper edition of exciting updates to share with you today - so let’s get going!
We’ve partnered with Gander on a new Deals section in our app ??
We’re incredibly excited to announce that we’ve launched a brand new Deals section in the Olio app, as the next stage in our fight against food waste ?
We’ve teamed up with SaaS reductions platform Gander and their network of partners, to bring Olio users the best available deals in their local area.
As well as helping our community shop smarter and save money on their grocery bill, this is also one more way for businesses in our network to fight food waste with Olio.
The results are in… ??
Last month, we set our community a mega challenge to help us find 10,000 new Food Waste Heroes. These are volunteers who rescue food from local businesses, and share it with their community.?
We knew it was an ambitious target, and we knew it wasn’t going to be easy. So we’re still incredibly proud to have had over 4,200 volunteer sign-ups in just one month.
Plus - an incredible 12,515 volunteers shared food on Olio in June. That's enough volunteers to fill Wembley Arena! Learn more about volunteering with Olio below.
Olio collections just got more flexible ??
For some businesses, having set Olio collection days works really well.?
But if your surplus food levels are a bit less predictable, you might need an extra collection during the week - and sometimes at short notice.? With that in mind, we’re super excited to introduce our brand new On Demand option, which gives our partners one more level of flexibility when it comes to scheduling collections.
