One day Margot is bored on the sofa and decides to surf the net on her phone. Looking through the various news stories, she notices an advert that gets her attention. The advert is for an application to order food from any restaurant nearby. However, it is not a just an app to order food but an app to buy leftover food from bars, restaurants and bakeries, costing little and avoiding it being thrown away at the end of the day.

The app is called 'Too Good To Go'. Margot promotes this app to her friends at the apartment, who, intrigued, decide to try it together.
Margot explains how the app works to her housemates sitting on the sofa and together with Mike and Jonas, they decide to order something for everyone. When they have ordered, they decide to go to collect the food.

When they get home, the food is still warm and the smell spreads throughout the apartment. Finally, they decide to set the table and divide the meals into many small portions so they can try a bit of everything and avoid wasting the leftovers.
