RotNot is a smart food-rescue platform designed to stop edible food from becoming waste. We connect surplus-heavy businesses and everyday households with nearby food banks and communities, turning “future trash” into a valuable shared resource. By bridging the gap between kitchens with excess food and people who need it, RotNot helps move food from shelves to plates before it has a chance to rot.
For businesses, RotNot automates the donation pipeline, making it simple to track surplus, schedule pickups, and earn Green Credits instead of paying disposal costs. For households, the platform offers smart food-shelf tracking and AI-powered recipe generation, helping families use what they already have and reduce everyday food waste from the root.
Our vision is a social circular economy where food is continuously shared, not discarded. By creating permanent food-sharing corridors between producers, stores, homes, and food banks. RotNot transforms waste into community impact designing food waste out of the system entirely.
