We have little restaurants built into every single dwelling unit! They're called kitchens.

There's a certain minimum number of foods you need to sell each day which directly controls how many restaurants you can have in a given area.

The real solution is burrito tubes: https://idlewords.com/2007/04/the_alameda_weehawken_burrito_...





I put my money into the toaster but no food came out. Please send help.

Try your credit card in the microwave ;)

So we should be talking about autonomous delivery of mealkits: HelloFresh, Marley Spoon, Dinnerly, Blue Apron, etc?

Aside from Blue Apron doing something of a reboot recently (and I wasn't wild about what they shipped me)--you don't hear much about the delivered meal kits for a variety of reasons. I know I don't care much for them--and it's not just cost.

It’s an incredibly narrow niche; those who want to cook at home but never progress past boxed ingredients.

At a fairly high price, with somewhat arbitrary company control over portion sizes, and locking you into typically two nights of next week’s menu. Many menu options I could replace with a lot of staple recipes from when I was going into office pretty much daily that would actually be faster from a combination of dry and frozen/preserved refrigerator ingredients.

well if you redefine the word "restaurant", sure...
