Every night, good food gets thrown out. Give it away instead, and prove it.

Night Watch Market lets restaurants donate surplus food in seconds, capture a snapshot of what was given, and generate audit-ready records automatically. No new inventory system to adopt.

How it works

For Restaurants
1

Log surplus at end of shift

One tap after close — no new system to learn.

2

We snapshot the item, value, and time

Captured automatically the moment you log it.

3

Claimed nearby, and your record is filed

A non-profit picks it up; the paperwork writes itself.

For Non-Profits
1

Set your area and food needs

Tell us what you can pick up, and where.

2

Browse surplus near you

See what's available in real time, block by block.

3

Claim and schedule a pickup

Receipt included, ready for your records.

The proof writes itself.

Every donation becomes a time-stamped, audit-ready record. Pull it up months later when the accountant or inspector asks.

Built for the paperwork, not just the giving.

Audit-ready records

Every donation logged, time-stamped, and ready to pull up.

Snapshot at time of donation

We capture the item, value, and inventory count the moment you give.

Tax documentation

Receipts and reports generated automatically for write-offs.

No ERP migration

Sits on top of the kitchen you already run. Nothing to replace.

Donor liability protections

Good-faith food donors are broadly protected under Good Samaritan food-donation law.

Your data stays yours

We never sell your records. Export or delete anytime.

Not everything gets donated.

Some restaurants sell surplus at a discount instead. Shop great food at unreal prices.
