  1. Scale like hell 2. ??? 3. Profit

    But step 1 is exactly the problem. I assume whatever production line makes my frozen pizzas looks pretty much like Zume's robotic pizza assembly line - except for the part where those are frozen and can be shipped from a single factory to a whole country. Zume reinvents the whole process, but instead of freezing it they put it in a delivery truck and heat it up on the last mile. Which means the factory has to be close to your delivery area. Now, factoring in competition from all other pizza delivery services, how much scale can you achieve with that? How long until automation of these small-scale runs pays off? And how many sufficiently big cities are there to expand to?

      Proper fully automated pizza making solution might sell. But to me at least one video I saw the whole thing was half-baked(in multiple ways)... Maybe a container sized unit or something that would take ingredients from one end and push out warm pizza in a box from other... I could see those going to self-service or dark kitchens.
