About the startup
Joy takes the daily question of what to make off your plate. Tell it what you are in the mood for and what you have at home, and it builds your menu, finds recipes from the ingredients in your fridge, and writes the grocery list. In San Francisco it can book a real chef to come cook it for you. Built by Eat Cook Joy, which ran a personal chef service in real kitchens for years before turning it into software. Over 100,000 servings cooked and $250,000 paid out to local chefs.
