Who we are:
Flashfood is a marketplace app that connects grocery retailers with shoppers.

How it works:
- Download the Flashfood app and create an account
- Browse grocery deals at nearby stores
- Add items to your cart and purchase within the app
- Pick up your items from the Flashfood Zone at your local partner store
