Then we have our customers now touring, checking it out. We're rolling out with five customers in April. They're using the machine and the way it will, the way it's going to go down is they will come into, and we, of course we have the real estate. So we have kitchens, you know, tens of thousands of kitchens around the world. They will come into one of our kitchens in a facility.
It's a delivery only restaurant. They'll prep the food in the morning and then they will leave. And the machine will, if you will order online, DoorDash, Uber Eats, et cetera, they'll order online the way they do. Build your own bowl exactly as you want. And the bowl gets all the ingredients dispensed, hot or cold, sauce, et cetera, gets lidded. The bowl goes into a bag.

The utensils go into the bag. The bag is sealed, and then it comes out on a conveyor belt. And machine gets the bag. It goes to the front of the facility. It gets put into a locker. That locker then is sitting there. DoorDash Uber Eats driver comes, waves their phone with an app in front of a camera, and it pops open the locker that has the food that you're supposed to get.

So like, if you're, if you're a restaurateur, you're the grind of the on demand meal, which is the restaurant world goes away, you basically prep. And that's asynchronous from when people order food, the machine does the final assembly, or what's known as plating, essentially.

So first, what we do is we serve the restaurants. So Chamath, you'll be sharing your dietary preferences with Uber Eats or DoorDash or Sweetgreen or somebody. Like our customer promise at our company is we serve those who serve others. Or put another way is infrastructure for better food. So we are either the AWS or the NVIDIA or whatever you want to call it, but for food, if that makes sense.

We're behind the scenes. We're the infrastructure. And so you'll give your preferences.

That's really awesome. You just authenticate Apple Health. When these bowls come off the line, and see how I talk, it's like an assembly line. When these bowls come off the line, on... The label on the bowl is how many grams of every ingredient is in it, plus a picture of what it was before we put the lid in. That can be sent to the person while the bowl's on its way via a courier, right?

I think, look, I think like what we see with supply chains in a bunch of different industries, it's just going to get super wired up. Right now we're at the point of manufacturing, but what happens? So you go, okay, we're doing assembly. Then you go, okay, what about prep? Then you go further upstream and you're like, what about supply chain like Cisco, US Foods?

And then you go further up and you're like, well, how does the mechanization occur on farms and in agriculture? And then how does that all get wired up to serve the customer and sort of what they're looking for? So you really can know exactly what kind of wheat was put into that food. Whether it was organic for real or not, what was the actual field it came from? Things like this.

You can imagine really getting tight about supply chain as it relates to dietary stuff and as it relates to maha. Hell to the yes. I mean, I ordered a couple different – I went to RFK Jr. 's website and they have like the – he has merch. He has Maha merch. I have the green Maha merch hat. I should have worn it today. I'm all about it. Did you get the onesie? That's amazing.
