Food waste 4 min read Updated

The surplus tail is smaller than you think.

Surplus is the most emotionally compelling part of Forsa and the smallest part of the business. Both facts matter.

If you asked a customer what Forsa does, surplus is the answer they would reach for. It is the vivid, tellable story: good food, almost thrown away, rescued at the last minute.

Commercially it is a minority of volume. Most orders are full-menu items and happy hours — ordinary dinners bought slightly cheaper, which makes a far duller story and a far larger business.

A company whose most memorable feature is a minority of its revenue has to be careful which story it starts believing.

We keep both straight deliberately. Positioning Forsa as a waste app would flatter the brand and mislead partners about where their money actually comes from.
