In most restaurants the kitchen remains the bottleneck. Tech has not fixed that.

Hey now, there'll be a startup that promises to bolt AI-powered robot arms to everything, can only cook licensed "Verified Recipes" and will be bleating "we just need more data bro, 6 months more runway, on my mother's life" until they go spectacularly bust at the end of their "journey" having never cooked a single meal.

Tech "fixed" that with frozen food, fryers and microwaves. Ordering on your phone a microwaved industrial meal is a consistent user experience. That's ok for fast-food but not something I'd enjoy at a cafe or restaurant.

Soylent and Huel seem to have fixed that issue, for their target market.

I've never yet heard of any restaurants that serve Soylent or Huel.

Those who enjoy tasteless gruel and want to spend their days farting?
