Kazakhstan's Sarqyt pitches app to sell unsold cafe food at TechCrunch Disrupt

Sarqyt, a startup from Kazakhstan, has built a mobile app and marketplace that cafes and restaurants can use to sell food that goes unsold at the end of the day instead of writing it off. The Tech recorded a report on Sarqyt at TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco, according to the episode description.

The description says cafes and restaurants often face a pile of unsold food when they close. The description presents Sarqyt's app as a way to sell those items rather than discard them, with the marketplace connecting the venues to buyers.

According to the same description, the Sarqyt team now plans to enter the Central Asian market. Further out, the team names the United States and other countries as target markets.

The episode also looks at how startups from the region build their products and move into international markets, with Sarqyt used as one example.
