Copia offers an on-demand app that allows users to schedule pickups of surplus food from restaurants, hotels, hospitals, corporate cafeterias, and other businesses which are re-distributed to local non-profit recipients. The app also enables tracking of surplus food, access to real-time data to prevent over-purchasing and overproduction. Copia also offers a Copia Connect platform to help nonprofits request food donation deliveries. As of April 2021, the company claimed that it had recovered 3.4 million pounds of food and served 3.2 million meals.
