I think what's missing is the standardisation of packaging, like what
has happened to the road haulage industry and containerisation. If the
fridge/freezer storage could be based on standard containers then
kitchen automation becomes a possibility. You need a system that can
automate the whole process of ordering food through delivery to domestic
storage and cooking. Alternatively build a system that will take an
order for food over the Internet and deliver it freshly cooked at the
door....
