Why not optimize Blue Apron and HelloFresh style meal kits so that they involve even less labor, then distribute the production to local commercial kitchens? There are already businesses that package this kind of prep work for restaurants.

I'm pretty sure you're just reinventing Domino's pasta line.

Standardize the ovens you distribute around the world. Simplify food cooking so that its just "put this pre-cut prepared block of aluminum foil into the standard-temperature oven for 15 minutes", and "deliver".

You just reinvented it by taking what I was picturing about 3 steps further.

HelloFresh already has "kits" that get delivered, and later people more or less just place them into the oven on the provided aluminum foil trays.
