Welcome to ResQ Club
We are super-humbled to hear you are interested in joining us! Working at ResQ Club is about working for a better tomorrow and a healthier world – making an impact. Scroll down to learn more.
Our mission
Did you know 30-40% of the food produced globally ends up in the trash? Our mission is to reduce food waste to zero – globally.
This is not a small task and it might take some time, but we are fully committed to getting there and 100% sure that it is achievable.
What we do
Sometimes restaurants, cafes and grocery stores end up having more goods than what they are able to sell to their customers. That food would normally go to waste, but that’s where we step in.
We provide a marketplace through which our partners can sell their surplus food to consumers that appreciate eating affordable quality food.

Perks and benefits
-
Flexible remote policy
Teams know best what is ideal for them, so they decide themselves (all of our teams currently work hybrid). We occasionally might have situations where on-site presence is requested, and obviously seeing your co-workers is always nice.
-
Paid holiday
Everyone is entitled to paid holiday right from the get-go – and we want to make sure that you actually use your holiday to recharge.
-
Paid parental leave
There are work things and then there are important things. We offer 3 months of fully paid parental leave, regardless of your gender or how you become a parent.
-
Flexible public holidays
Not everyone’s heritage and beliefs match the public holiday scheme of the country they currently work in, so we're offering our employees the possibility to make "day-off trade" to celebrate what fits their values and culture.

Pick your device
When you join us, we'll make sure you have a say in what device you'd like to work with at ResQ Club.

Support for development
