“So, walk me through this. Give us two things. Give us the big idea.”
So 10 years from now, nobody's going to be cooking because they have to. They'll only be going to cook because they want to. Same way nobody's going to be driving because they have to. They're only going to be driving because they want to. Cooking is going the exact same way. Door Dash is something you will only order when your robot at home cannot cook the meal that you want to eat or when you're ordering corporate lunches. Cooking will become a leisurely activity, something that you only do for joy, but not Monday through Friday when it's a chore. And we are the company that's building the future where every house will have a robot chef that cooks food for you so you don't have to.
