饶

ráo

rich

surname Rao; abundant; exuberant; to add for free; to throw in as bonus; to spare; to forgive; despite; although

food (饣) + phonetic (尧) = rich, abundant, to spare

The food radical grounds the sense of abundance and generosity — having so much food that you can spare some or throw in extra. 尧 mainly contributes the sound ráo and does not add meaning here.
