We were dying for this at home.

We needed to trust every ingredient. After our 6-month old's trip to the ER with a food allergy. So we started building something to help us cook every meal at home.

How we help each other

Your reservation helps us prove real families want this, raise the funding to build more machines, and get the first units into homes.

First machines = real meals.

Founding families get the earliest home units, a few scratch-made meals right out of the gate, and direct setup help so dinner gets easier sooner.

100 reservations give us the proof points investors need to fund manufacturing, support, and an expanded menu repertoire.

Weeknight relief

Use the first machines for the meals that make your evenings easier before anyone else.

Scratch meals ASAP

Feel great about the quality of food going into your family's bodies since so little is processed.

Ingredients you choose

Dietary allergies and restrictions become so much easier because you control what's in everything.

Making food cool again

A robot making real food can turn dinner into something kids want to watch, ask about, and taste.

Good fit if...

You want home-cooked to cook itself.

  • You want more meals from ingredients you choose.
  • You manage food allergies or dietary restrictions.
  • You are tired of takeout, packaged food, and shortcuts.
  • You are comfortable with an early product if the team is honest.
  • You want to to help drive what it makes first.

Founder portrait

Our mission is healthy, happy lives from scratch made food.

We are what we eat.

Our future generation is growing up on too much packaged food, takeout, and shortcuts because modern family life leaves too little room for real cooking.

When scratch meals are convenient enough for weeknights, families build more health and joy from sharing with family.

Questions from the first 100

The first families help us choose which real kitchen problems to prove before the first homes.

Asian-style soups, dumplings, and fresh noodles
SF family of 3

Can I preload ingredients and come home to a hot meal?

That is a principle of ours: it has a cold-storage bin, and doesn't start cooking until the perfect time.

Dishwasher-safe cleanup scene
Everyone

How hard is cleaning?

We are aiming to make almost everything that touches food dishwasher safe and convenient.

How many things can it cook?

We know to earn its space, Sous Chef Studio has to cook 4 dinners a week, and some breakfasts and lunches. It can easily make fresh pastas and curry rice dishes. We're working on dumplings and more (like chicken tenders).
