How It Works
Transforming Australia's 7.6 million tons of annual food waste into affordable, nutritious meals for families while protecting our environment
The Challenge We're Solving
Every year in Australia, over 7.6 million tons of food ends up in landfill while the cost-of-living forces more families to skip meals or rely on poor quality options. This creates a two-sided problem: environmental damage from food waste and community harm from food insecurity.
Environmental Impact
Food waste generates significant greenhouse gas emissions and wastes precious resources like water, land, and energy used in food production.
Food Insecurity
Rising living costs force families to choose between nutritious meals and other essentials, leading to compromised health and wellbeing.
Our Four-Step Solution
Second Serve tackles both sides of the problem head-on, rescuing surplus meals to turn waste into affordable dining while accommodating people in need.
Partner Collection
We partner with local cafés, restaurants, and supermarkets to collect their high-quality surplus food that would otherwise go to waste.
Did you know? Australian food businesses waste an average of 3.1 million tons annually - that's enough to feed 2.3 million households for a year!

All rescued food undergoes strict quality and safety checks before being packaged and prepared for distribution through our network.
App-Based Ordering
Customers browse available meals through our convenient mobile app, selecting affordable options that suit their dietary needs and preferences.
