What if Instacart groceries came delivered by a pro chef to cook your meal?

Would you pay $100 plus groceries for a gourmet meal cooked in your kitchen? $250 for a week of meal prep?

home chefs already exist.

True, but what counts is to make it ubiquitous and a profitable business.

> ubiquitous and a profitable business

no offense, but by god that has the horrible stench of "grind 'em to the bone" and "ok how much cheaper can we get this?" race-to-the-bottom end-stage capitalism

Can you link to the service? I haven’t seen it

What country do you live in where those numbers are realistic?

San Francisco. US.

I really doubt that, personally. In that area maybe between 5x and 10x these figures would seem plausible to me.

Yeah, because that would mean someone is subsidizing it.

Are you thinking $100 can’t support 60-90 minutes of a cook’s time and turn a profit?
