Description

How does SmartReserves work?

1. Donor Uploads Food

• The donor uploads a photo, quantity, food type (raw/cooked/packaged), and time of preparation.
• The app’s AI automatically estimates shelf life and freshness.

2. Hygiene & Safety Verification

• AI checks the photo for hygiene, spoilage, or contamination.
• Temperature and safety guidelines are applied automatically.
• The “No Plate Leftovers” filter rejects half-eaten or served-from-plate food.
• Items that appear unsafe or spoilt are auto-rejected.
• Partner NGOs use portable food-safety test strips for additional verification.

3. Real-Time Matching

• The app instantly matches the donation with the nearest verified NGO, community kitchen, or individual family in need.
• Matching prioritises food with a shorter shelf life to prevent waste.
