A food-rescue app from Kazakhstan

Good food.
Rescued daily.

Local restaurants in Astana and Almaty cook more than they sell. Ules lets you rescue that fresh, surplus food at the end of the day — up to 70% off menu prices.

Our mission

One in three meals never gets eaten.
We think that's worth fixing.

Ules started in Astana with a small idea: restaurants often end the day with perfectly good surplus food, and people would happily enjoy it for a fraction of the price. The catch was always logistics — how do you connect them, fast?

So we built an app. Restaurants list their surprise bags. You see what's near you, reserve one, and pick it up before they close. Everyone gains something — money saved, food rescued, a little less carbon. It's a small loop, but it adds up.

For people

Find dinner. Save the planet a little.

Open the app, see what nearby restaurants have rescued today, pick a bag, and walk over to collect it. You usually pay between ₸600 and ₸2,000 for food that originally cost two or three times that.

  • Browse rescue bags near you
  • See exactly when to collect
  • Track your impact over time
  • Pay in-app, show the receipt at pickup
For restaurants

Turn surplus into revenue.

Listing takes a minute. Set up a surprise bag, pick a collection window, and new customers will walk through your door for the fresh food you have left at the end of service. We handle payment and customer comms.

  • List bags in seconds
  • Dashboard with daily revenue + reviews
  • Direct payouts in Tenge
  • No upfront cost — we take a small fee per bag

For restaurants

Are you a restaurant or café?

If you cook fresh food daily and have more than you sell, Ules can help. Set up takes about ten minutes. You decide what goes into each bag, how many, and when customers collect.

We're already partnered with bakeries, plov houses, grill spots, cafés, and small bistros across Astana and Almaty.

Who's behind Ules

A small team in Astana with one big goal.

We're builders, designers, and food people. We started Ules because we wanted fresh, delicious meals to find someone to enjoy them — even at the very end of the day — and felt it was a problem worth solving with software.
