Excelsior Cafe is extending its collaboration with TABETE, a food waste rescue service, to include 99 of its stores. Starting from January this year, Excelsior Cafe’s first batch of 40 stores prevented more than 250kg of food waste. The success pushes the collaboration further as Excelsior Cafe introduces another 49 stores, mainly in the Tokyo region and other prefectures like Saitama and Chiba Prefectures.
