Here you’ll find answers to the most common questions about our services to help achieve local business grow, reduce food waste and reduce CO2 generation.
Every meal that goes uneaten wastes the water, energy, and land that produced it. By saving surplus meals with Mäntæ, we directly prevent this waste and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It’s a small step that makes a big environmental difference.
Unlike delivery apps that focus on convenience and full-priced meals, Mäntæ focuses on surplus food at discounted prices. Our mission isn’t just affordability — it’s about reducing waste, supporting local businesses, and creating an eco-friendly community.
Options range from bakery items and café snacks to full restaurant meals. The variety depends on what’s surplus for the day — meaning every experience feels like a surprise discovery while still guaranteeing quality and freshness.
No subscription is required. You simply download the app or visit our website, explore available meals, and pay only for what you choose. No hidden fees — just great food at great value.
We carefully onboard local partners who maintain high standards of food safety. Surplus meals are listed only if they meet quality checks, ensuring customers always receive safe, fresh, and hygienic food.
Each meal you rescue saves food that would otherwise go to waste. On our platform, you can see the estimated food saved and the carbon emissions reduced — making your contribution tangible and rewarding.
Yes! Mäntæ is designed for everyone — from large restaurants to small bakeries and local cafés. We empower even small vendors to recover costs, reduce waste, and reach eco-conscious customers.
In rare cases, meals may sell out quickly. If that happens, we work with the vendor to provide an alternative or ensure a refund is processed. Transparency and customer satisfaction are top priorities.
While we start in urban hubs, our goal is to expand to smaller towns and communities. Food waste happens everywhere, and Mäntæ is committed to bridging the gap wherever surplus food exists.
If you love the concept, tell your favorite restaurant or café about Mäntæ! Many vendors are eager to reduce waste but don’t know about platforms like ours. Together, we can build a stronger, greener network.

Food waste isn’t just about food. It’s about wasted water, energy, land, transport, and labor — all of which carry a carbon footprint.
According to trusted global studies:
1 kg of food waste = approx. 2.5 kg of CO₂ equivalent (CO₂e)

So, when you save 1,000 kg of food with ‘MÄNTÆ’, you also prevent around 2,500 kg (2.5 tons) of greenhouse gases.
