Delivery route

How it works

Post food

1. Post surplus

Anyone posts food in seconds with a pickup window, parking info and arrival instructions.

Driver

2. Volunteers bundle & go

Overlapping windows get bundled into one optimized route with multiple pickups in a single trip.

Kitchen

3. The kitchen receives

Every route ends at a real soup kitchen, like Rue de Montbrillant 1, 1201 Genève.
