Mostly, you can build the food listings and reservations, with extra work for seller payouts.
You can build an app where shops post surplus food and people reserve discounted bags for pickup. Start with payment at pickup, then add online payments and seller payouts once the reservation flow works. You will need to recruit the shops yourself.

Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.
Build an iPhone app for people buying discounted surplus food from nearby shops and restaurants. The main screen should show food offers with a photo, shop name, distance, discounted price, pickup window and bags remaining. Tapping an offer opens its details, including allergen notes and a Reserve button. Reserving creates a pickup code and saves the bag in My Reservations, with payment due at the shop. Add a shop view where a seller can create an offer, update the number of bags and mark a reservation collected. Use realistic sample shops, offers and reservations, with simulated account switching for now. Keep the design friendly and clear, with green accents, warm cream backgrounds and large food photos.

Vibecode builds a first version from one prompt, and the checker would start with these parts: browse sample surplus food offers near you; view an offer and reserve a bag for payment at pickup; let shops add offers and mark reservations collected. Plan on a weekend for a working first version with its real features.
Vibecode's first build is free for new accounts that sign up with Google or Apple on the web or the iPhone app, as the account's first project: one build of about 10 minutes with up to 3 features, on sample data. After that you need credits, from a paid plan or auto-reload. For your own version of Too Good To Go, the checker lists these costs: Vibecode Plus ($20 a month); Apple Developer Program ($99 a year); Stripe account (fees per payment).
Too Good To Go brings together shops with actual surplus food and nearby buyers already using the service. A version you build yourself won't have these: participating local shops and restaurants; existing community of food buyers; established food retailer partnerships.
