In a city where convenience reigns supreme, treatsure is reinventing how people shop and dine by turning surplus into savings. Originally sparked by a home refrigerator purge in 2016, the idea blossomed into a mobile platform that helps F&B outlets and consumers take food waste off the menu.

Officially launched in September 2017, the treatsure app connects restaurants and hotels with surplus food to everyday consumers looking for affordable and delicious options. Its “Buffet-in-a-Box” feature lets users choose a restaurant, scan a QR code on site, and fill a reusable box with selected buffet items. The result is a delightful and budget-friendly experience that keeps good food from going to waste.

Beyond buffets, treatsure also offers surplus grocery shopping. Users can browse unsold but perfectly edible items from a wide range of merchants, build a cart from multiple sources, and opt for pickup or delivery. With weekly collection and delivery windows, this system brings a dose of flexibility and eco-consciousness to every purchase.
Grocery checkout windows: By Mon 2pm or Thu 2pm
Pickup days: Tue, Fri, Sat (Oxley Tower store)
Delivery days: Tue/Wed and Fri/Sat
By connecting surplus supply with everyday demand, treatsure does more than reduce food waste. It reimagines how food can be valued, consumed, and appreciated in Singapore’s fast-paced urban lifestyle.
