Inspired by Too Good To Go, Surplus is a conceptual sustainability-focused dining platform that allows students in New Brunswick to connect with local restaurants offering discounted meals while saving money, enjoying delicious cuisine, and reducing food waste.
For the visual identity of Surplus, a warm and inviting palette of green and yellow was chosen to evoke freshness and sustainability. The title font is designed to be round, full and bold, creating a striking focus point when paired with a clean, legible secondary font.
The app includes three main tabs—Home, Browse, and Rewards—along with a checkout cart in the top navigation bar, ensuring seamless navigation and quick access while exploring stores and items. Within Browse, the user can scroll down a list of stores, which will further direct them to the listed entrees. Within Rewards, the user can keep track of their stickers as well as learn about partnered Food Banks.
