₹450 Biryani for ₹150? Building a "Too Good To Go" for Indian restaurants & weddings. Tear my idea apart!

An app connecting you with restaurants, cafes, and wedding caterers to buy their end-of-day surplus food at 1/3rd of their original price.

How it works :

- Restaurants/caterers list surplus (e.g., 30 unsold dinners, 50 wedding plates) on the app 2–4 hours before closing/event end.

- Customers reserve a “mystery pack” or specific meal, and pick it up at a designated zone or get it delivered to their place.

- Price: 1/3 of regular cost (e.g., ₹100–200 per meal).

- Safety first: Only FSSAI-verified partners, time-boxed pickup (2-hour window), temperature logs, clear labeling .

Honest feedback, suggestions and questions would be really helpful for me.

Would a marketplace for nearing best-before date food products work? - Looking for honest feedback

A lot of perfectly usable food and grocery products go to waste because stores are unable to sell them before their best-before date.

The idea is to create a platform where supermarkets and grocery stores can list such products at discounted prices, with the best-before date clearly disclosed. Buyers can choose products based on their needs and remaining shelf life, while stores recover some value from inventory that might otherwise go to waste and buyers get products in a more affordable price.

I’m considering focusing more on B2B rather than individual consumers — connecting stores with PGs, hostels, small restaurants, cafés, etc. These businesses buy in bulk and often use products much faster, so limited remaining shelf life may not be an issue.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this idea, along with any questions, suggestions, or potential challenges you see.
