Let me save you some time:
In the end they ditched their "sharing" economy model of food production and delivery, rented a kitchen and hired staff, and became a delivery service with a teeny tiny menu.
It may be successful; the model is as old as civilization and the market allows for new entrants. But it's not easy.

- athenot 10y agoAnd their conclusion that "cooking is dying" is a huge stretch. It might be more believable if they had a huge menu of truly authentic items, but that would eat into their business model. Similarily, claiming that "fast food is dying" is because they haven't realized what most fast food engineers have discovered through many years of iteration: at scale, the masses prefer salty, greasy food with habit forming taste characteristics. Still, I wish them luck in their current business.
