Cooking for a family takes a lot of time and most people are bad at it. At the same time, many people in cities like London, SF or NYC earn of the order of tens of dollars an hour. Why are there no businesses which hire a private chef, gather subscriptions from people living in the area and deliver meals? Seems like the work would scale relative to each family cooking separately. This kind of business would also avoid many costs restaurants face (maintaining dining rooms, hiring waiters, etc). Relatively wealthy people should also be willing to pay up to avoid cooking, especially if it's cheaper than a restaurant. I'm guessing there are good reasons why such busnesses are not popular but trying to figure out what they are.
