I remember back in the day a few food court places did this. They'd preload a to-go container with a ton of food and mark it for $5 about 30 minutes before the mall closed. I haven't seen a food court do this since 2008 though.

    This sounds pretty much exactly like that. It's about the only downside, as it's first come (to reserve a box in the app), first served, and you get a half hour pickup window.

    The way they sell it to places is they make it so it's no more work than just tossing it would be, but you get a sale.
