1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,400 Speaker 1: New Zealanders are throwing away over one hundred and twenty 2 00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:04,800 Speaker 1: thousand tons of food every year, and there is a 3 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 1: new food rescue app that's hoping to change that. It's 4 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 1: called Gone Good and it lets customers buy mystery bags 5 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: of unsold food from cafes and bakeries to help produce 6 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 1: food waste. It's from the team behind Deliver Easy, and 7 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 1: the CEO, Tim Robinson is with us. Hey. 8 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 2: Tim, Hey, they're nice to be with it. 9 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:20,599 Speaker 1: It's very good to talk to you. So do you 10 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 1: have any any phone rules in your house? 11 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 2: My daughter's only three and a half, so she hasn't 12 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 2: got one yet, thankfully, so it makes it very easy. 13 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,159 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, now's the time to start the rules. My 14 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: son's three and a half. Of jeez, I'll tell you what. 15 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: But boys are different. Boys are different than girls. Tim listen, 16 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: So how does this product work? You don't know what 17 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: you're getting when you buy a mystery bag. 18 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's correct. So I think the premise behind that. 19 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 2: The whole concept was to make sure that we're getting 20 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 2: rid of actual food waste. So if stores are prief 21 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 2: preparing things, they know what they're going in there, it 22 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 2: wouldn't be truly food waste. So yeah, the mysterigey is 23 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 2: a bit of fun, but also make sure that we're 24 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 2: truly tagging the food waste side. 25 00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, so what you could I mean I might What 26 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: if I don't like pies and I'm thinking, geez, I'm 27 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: going to get some great croissants here in this mystery 28 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: bag and then it turns up with pies. There's a 29 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: real risk that people might be a bit disappointed, isn't there. 30 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 2: Yes, So some of the the results can give a 31 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 2: description generally what's in the bag, so they can can't 32 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 2: have labor it swear you're savory, or they might say 33 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 2: it's a pie bag or something else. Ye, so you 34 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 2: get some I guess it's some guidance, but not exactly 35 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 2: what's going to be in there. So yeah, hopefully it's 36 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 2: enough and thatough information you know you're going to get 37 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 2: something you'll like. 38 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: And how much cheaper is it? 39 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 2: It's a third the price. So if it's something that 40 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 2: would self for thirty bucks normal in the store, you'll 41 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:32,839 Speaker 2: get a bag at that for ten bucks. 42 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 1: Do you reckon? There's a market for this? 43 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 2: Mate? Today's been crazy, so it looks like there is 44 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 2: really I think we went live. Yeah, we went live 45 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 2: at nine o'clock this morning and on track foremost to 46 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 2: sell out on a first day, which is yeah, a 47 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 2: pretty happy surprise. 48 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: Wow. I mean because it seems to me there's a 49 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: market obviously, mate, I don't know about you. I did 50 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: the grocery shop last night online and when I saw 51 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: the final bill, I was shocked. I reckon. In the 52 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: last month or so, it's it's got like really not 53 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: and so I reckon there must be a market for 54 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: people who think that this is an opportunity to reduce 55 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: what you're paying in your bills. But also these guys 56 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,239 Speaker 1: who are running hospo and are having a really tough 57 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: time must really appreciate that connection and the ability to 58 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: sell everything that they can. 59 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, like it's a great way to make your 60 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 2: man a go a bit further. Like you're getting it's 61 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 2: like great quality food, and so it's great that you 62 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 2: could buy it back today and put away for your 63 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 2: kause lunches for the week or take it to work 64 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 2: the next day. But it's yeah, honestly, it's a really 65 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 2: good way to get awesn't quality food. But watch you 66 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 2: opinions at the same time. 67 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: And so if you order it today, when does it arrive? 68 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 2: So the stores that pick up windows so they'll see it. 69 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 2: For example, a bakery might close up at four o'clock, 70 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 2: so they'll let you pick it up between for example, 71 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 2: it might be three or four o'clock you turn up 72 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 2: and come and click your bag. 73 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: Okay, And there's no delivery option. 74 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 2: Not at this point. But it's something we're looking into, 75 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 2: so hopefully they will come quite soon for you. 76 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 1: Yeah, you already see where I'm going with this, Tim, 77 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: Thanks very much, mate, look after yourself.

Is it just me or has something 79 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: in the last month or so to the groceries to 80 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: all of us? I mean, look, it could be. It 81 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: could be that there's something going on with my grocery shop, 82 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: like maybe in the last month I've just run out 83 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: of a whole bunch of Like you know how you 84 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: have the staples you order every week? Oh man, I 85 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: forgot to order the vogels, hold on right that on 86 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: my hand. Lord, that's trouble, isn't it. Anyway? So there's 87 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: things that you order every week, right, like the vogels 88 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 1: and the butter. I don't even know if I ordered 89 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: the butter, you write this down now too. I did 90 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: it quite late last night after I was finished right 91 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,679 Speaker 1: in my column, so we're talking. Yeah, you can see 92 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: where this is going. Anyway, back to the actual thing 93 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: I'm trying to say to you. You order the same 94 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: stuff every week and it doesn't you know, it doesn't 95 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: blow the budget. But then sometimes you run out of 96 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: like the five hundred and seventy wash washing liquid or 97 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: whatever you go on and that's a big cost. And 98 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: then you run out of beer and that's a big cost. 99 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: And then you also run out of the coffee and 100 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: you need to buy that, you know, like it's a 101 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: bulk buying. Whatever it is, all of a sudden, it 102 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: could be that what is happening is I've just done 103 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: several shops in the last month that have been just 104 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: like really big items that have But it's also possible 105 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: that something's happened in the last month and it's just 106 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: gone up by a notch that's made me go, wow, 107 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: groceries are nutty. Anyway, I'm glad that I am remembering 108 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: the vocals in the butter. So it looks like looks 109 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: like that's not the end of my shop. For the 110 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: week is it looks like I'm going in for Round two. 111 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: For more from Heather Duplessy Allen Drive, listen live to 112 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,559 Speaker 1: news talks.
