The frequently asked questions when hearing this kind of news would be: “Can ANYONE buy the food?” / “Do you have to be staying at the hotel to buy the food?” / “Is the food halal?”. Not to fear, we have all the answers! ?Anyone can buy these boxes of food, and you don’t even have to be staying at the hotel to do so. This is all thanks to the ingenious application called Treatsure, which was launched to help combat food wastage in Singapore.

So, how do you go about buying these boxed buffets? It’s pretty easy! ?The app will tell you what time a buffet is at, and all you have to do is note when it’s nearing it’s end time and make your way to the hotel - we’d recommend at least 30 to 45 minutes before. Once there, show the app to the staff and use their paper takeaway boxes and take your pick of the surplus buffet food.
P.S. You can also choose to buy a reusable Treatsure lunch box! It’s microwave safe AND you’ll get a 50 cents rebate when you use it at the hotels!
Would you be interested in this boxed buffet? While Singapore still has a long way to go in the sustainability section, we think this app is a great way to combat the issue of food waste!
