We’re a purpose-driven platform on a mission to rethink food waste, and give everyone the power to turn surplus into impact.

Surplus isn’t waste, it’s a resource. By giving good food a second life, people can eat better, restaurants can run smarter, and the planet can breathe easier.

Because it’s not just about the food, it’s about everything that went into making it. Around 40% of all food produced globally goes to waste every year. When that happens, we also waste the water, energy, land, and resources used to grow, transport, and prepare it.

In the UAE, food waste looks like this:

$3.5 billion worth of restaurant food wasted annually
55% increase in food waste during Ramadan
350 kg of food wasted per person each year
3.27 million tonnes of food wasted annually

Kibsu connects surplus consumables, from restaurant meals to grocery items and more, with people who can use them. We turn waste into a resource, saving food, water, energy, and everything that went into producing them.

Instead of being thrown away, extra stock is sold at a discounted price, quickly, easily, and sustainably.

This helps reduce landfill waste, lower emissions, and build a smarter, more efficient food system.

We partner with vendors to list their surplus items on our platform. Each vendor provides details on what’s available and selects their own time windows for pickup.

Once the surplus items are listed, users can browse and reserve them at discounted prices.

When a user selects an item, our platform issues a unique code along with an exact pickup time. This code lets users discreetly collect their items without mentioning the discount at the counter, protecting the vendor’s brand image while reducing waste.
