Chef-qualitymeals in10 minutes
Fresh, healthy food cooked by AI robots and delivered to your building. No cooking, no waiting, no compromise on quality.
You want healthy food, but you're out of time
Time Crunch
Cooking takes 30-60 minutes you simply don't have
Quality vs. Speed
Fast food is unhealthy. Good delivery takes 30-45+ minutes
Inconsistent Options
Delivery quality is a lottery. Meal kits still require cooking
BlockChef changes everything
Restaurant-quality meals made with natural ingredients, delivered in 10 minutes, any time of day.
No more choosing between health and convenience. Get both.

AI-powered robots handle the full cooking process from raw ingredients to finished dishes, then autonomous mini-robots deliver to your building.
The killer advantage

Freshly Cooked
Not reheated. Not pre-made. Cooked when you order from raw ingredients.
Robotic Consistency
Perfect execution every time. No bad days, no staffing issues, no quality lottery.

What you need to know
Is this right for me?
If you're in Austin and value freshly cooked healthy food but don't have time to cook, BlockChef is designed for you. Our pilot will serve one neighborhood initially, with waitlist members getting priority access. Expect premium restaurant-quality meals at $15-25 per dish.
When does this launch?
We're targeting late 2026 for our first pilot kitchen in Austin. We're currently in concept stage, developing the prototype and selecting the specific neighborhood. Waitlist members will get updates throughout the development journey and first access when we launch.
How does the 10-minute delivery work?
We place hyper-local robotic kitchens directly in neighborhoods, limiting our service radius to a 10-minute delivery zone. Autonomous mini-robots deliver to your building's ground floor. This is faster than traditional delivery because the kitchen is right in your neighborhood—not across town.
What kind of meals will you offer?
We're partnering with local Austin chefs to create restaurant-style menus using natural ingredients. Think chef-quality preparation, not processed foods. Specific dishes are still being developed—waitlist members will have input on menu development and be first to see options.
Which Austin neighborhood will launch first?
We're currently evaluating neighborhoods based on density, walkability, and community interest. Early waitlist members will have input on location selection and get priority access regardless of which neighborhood we choose for the pilot.
What's the cost commitment to join the waitlist?
Zero. Joining the waitlist is completely free with no credit card required. There's no obligation—you can unsubscribe anytime. We're building a community, not collecting payments. Your email stays private and we'll only send relevant updates about BlockChef's progress.
