FAQ:
- Q: This is a interesting idea. I like the concept where you could set up a subscription or auto-refill. 1) Do you have or are you working on patents to prevent the industry giants from jumping and taking over this market segment? 2) What happens if you don't reach $500,000 in fun...
  A: Hi Luke, thanks for the great questions! Hope these answers help. 1) We filed our utility patent on the entire system in February of last year. We will continue filing sub-patents/extra claims on the detailed design aspects as the develop. 2) We have a minimum threshold set at $50,000 as that will be enough funding for us to build a few prototypes that can be used to move forward.

That process involves two separate steps you need to be home and in the kitchen (start the oven and put the meal in the oven). SueChef allows you to start and complete the entire process remotely. This means you can still be at work, outside, sleeping, or anywhere/do...
