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...

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.

We do not have any formal agreements at this time. We have several MOUs and are in serious negotiations with a number of food companies as well as businesses for both the supply and the b2b side of the business model.

How it differs from just reheating frozen food in the convection oven?

Food preparation wise, it does not. The issue with using a convection oven with heating a frozen meal is time. It can take 10-15 minutes for the oven to preheat and then another 10-45 for the meal to cook (depending on the meal). 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.

What Investors Say

LEAD INVESTOR

Invested $35,000 this round

I can see this product grow into a mainstream use nation wide, like a microwave oven. Plus the patents they have already and the interest they are getting with grants they received and the forward looking statements have so many possibilities for future products. Knowing first hand the team that has been put together and the quality of work getting done. This product is going to have a chance at becoming something special. I'm all in for the ride with my personal investment. Looking forward to the beta testing phase.
