  @DJ I saw the product working on another video. In an interview they could have shown it working. They probably did not show it because it is only a glorified mixer. Check it out on YouTube you will. A good interveiw comes with some research.

Automating what is not automated is always a good idea. The manual work of providing ingredients can also be automated i guess

So 45,000. That is the price of 1.5 years of a normal chef wage basically in America. This is going to sell and become popular at places like Dunkin Donuts, Burger King, Pizza Hut, etc.

  His product has potential to be successful because in India generally 500 people appear in marriage ceremony so he can achieve economy of scale plus Indians spend lavishly on weddings.

  In india for example, there are hugeee free food hand-outs so basically they have huge ass kitchens where they cook food by the buttload, its not easy to cook that amount of food it require strength and honestly a good heart because every single meal they produce is free, and they do this daily. It will safe alot of Energy and time for the organizers of those meal’s. Also the peace of mind that you will always have something to serve food for those that need it

From bootstrapping TaskRabbit on credit cards to scaling it into one of the defining companies of the gig economy, Leah learned firsthand that the hardest part of building a company isn’t the product, it’s selecting the right people to build it.

In this episode, Isabelle Johannessen and Leah unpack what it really takes to build diverse teams from day one and why most companies get it wrong by waiting too long. They also explore how the lack of diversity in venture capital directly shapes who gets funded, and ultimately, who gets hired.

Apply to Startup Battlefield: We are looking for early-stage companies that have an MVP. So nominate a founder (or yourself): techcrunch.com/apply. Be sure to say you heard about Startup Battlefield from the Build Mode podcast.

TechCrunch Disrupt: If you’re thinking about applying to Startup Battlefield, then October 13 to 15 in San Francisco, we’re back for TechCrunch Disrupt, where the Startup Battlefield 200 takes the stage. So if you want to cheer them on, or just network with 1000s of founders, VCs, and tech enthusiasts, then grab your tickets.
