Find nearby food with the map and filters

Use Discover in the Karma app to find food nearby, search for a place or item, and narrow the results with dietary filters or categories.

Watch the 41-second walkthrough, or follow the written steps below.

Find food near you

1. Open Discover in the Karma app.
2. Allow location access if you want results around your current position.
3. Look for green markers. They show locations with surplus available now.
4. Select a marker or offer to check the items, price, amount left, and pickup time.
5. Select the location arrow in the bottom-right corner to return the map to your position.

Search for a location or food

1. Select Search in Discover.
2. Enter a location, venue, or food—for example, salad.
3. Select a result to see its available offer and pickup details.

Use preferences and filters

1. Select the filter control in Discover.
2. Choose a collection, category, or dietary preference.
3. Review the filtered results.
4. If the list is empty, remove filters and add them again one at a time.

Always read the item description and ingredients. If you have an allergy, ask the location about ingredients and cross-contact before purchasing.

If the map looks empty

• Zoom out or move the map to another area.
• Return to your location and check that Karma has location permission.
• Remove active filters.
• Check again later. Locations publish surplus at different times.

If an offer clearly ignores an active filter, open Profile → Help & Support → New conversation. Include the filter, location, offer, time, and a screenshot.
