An illustrative future lunch
Lunch arrives
before the thought becomes a chore.
He's deep in his work. His food assistant starts lunch. A few fresh leaves leave a nearby farm, a rover brings them home, and a salad reaches his desk just as he thinks, “I should eat.”
A future scenario. Streamline's connected food service is in development, starting in Bozeman, Montana.
Future scene · Illustrative timing
47 minutes
until his usual lunch window.
On the menu
Kale, basil, lemon & pepitas.
5 kale leaves
6 basil leaves
Lemon and pepitas are already at home. The assistant orders only the missing leaves.
The meal takes shape.
His day carries on.
He keeps working.
A man is absorbed at his desk. His food assistant checks the lunch plan he has already approved: his preferences, meal history and usual routine, plus any optional activity context he has permitted. His regular lunch window is 47 minutes away.
Only the missing ingredients.
The assistant selects a kale salad with basil, lemon and pepitas. Lemon and pepitas are in his kitchen. Within his preapproved budget, it places an order with the neighborhood farm for five kale leaves and six basil leaves.
The farm springs into action.
Farm robots harvest the leaves, pack them for the short trip and load a delivery rover. The rover heads down the street. Back at home, the humanoid starts roasting the pepitas.
The door opens.
The rover reaches the house. The humanoid opens the door, receives the kale and basil, and returns to the kitchen. It prepares the leaves while the pepitas finish roasting, then adds lemon and the warm seeds.
“I'm getting hungry. I should eat.”
He looks up. The humanoid sets a fresh salad beside him. The pepitas are still warm. Lunch has arrived at the moment it became a thought.
Streamline is developing the neighborhood farms, software and operating methods behind that future. The next meal connects the household, the farm and the people or machines doing the work.
Illustrative future scenario; 47 minutes is an invented timing example. The household controls meal preferences, data access, ordering permissions and spending.
Start with the meal.
Work back to the farm.
Streamline's proposed business sells ingredients and prepared meals through neighborhood farms and kitchens. People cook, kitchens prepare, and future home robots could use the same supply.
Better planning and cheaper machine work could change local food economics. Choosing a tomato once came down to picking actions per saleable pound. Shared software and tested methods are how we aim to repeat what works.
Revenue must cover purchased food, labor, delivery, equipment and capital.
Built from the work
of running a farm.
Streamline began growing food in Bozeman in 2017. That operating experience informs the next chapter.
Help build the next
neighborhood food network.
Investors, food operators and robotics teams: Bozeman is the starting point. A network of neighborhoods is the ambition.
