Can you share a 25 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:57,719 little bit about your background. 26 00:01:57,959 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I grew up in Manhat Beach, California, and 27 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,480 went to the University California at Santa Barbara, and I 28 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,400 knew pretty pretty fast that what I wanted to do 29 00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:13,120 was something around pets, my dog specifically. I wanted to 30 00:02:13,319 --> 00:02:17,599 make life better for dogs. And shortly after graduating college, 31 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,599 my labrador had a bad ear infection and I invented 32 00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:24,479 a tool to solve it and got a patent on that. 33 00:02:24,759 --> 00:02:27,680 It's an ear applicator for ear medicines and ear cleaners, 34 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,599 and I thought that's just the perfect way to start 35 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:36,599 a business around an actual need and a unique innovative product. 36 00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:39,520 So me and my best friend at the time we 37 00:02:40,039 --> 00:02:43,599 created Innovet Pet Products and that was two thousand and five, 38 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,120 and since then we've been using the needs and the 39 00:02:48,159 --> 00:02:50,879 problems that our pets encountered where there wasn't a better solution, 40 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,879 and we use those as opportunities to try and find 41 00:02:55,039 --> 00:02:57,800 innovations and try and make things better for our own 42 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,960 pets and that's what's led us to success, and that's 43 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,960 what led us about three years ago to get into 44 00:03:05,319 --> 00:03:08,960 the pet food market in an incredibly unique way, and 45 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,479 that's how chef Paw got created. 46 00:03:10,719 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 2: Okay, thank you for that, And now let's talk about 47 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,400 chef Paw kind of briefly because we're going to go 48 00:03:17,439 --> 00:03:20,639 into more detail, but so people know what we're talking about, 49 00:03:20,759 --> 00:03:23,159 if you can kind of describe it as well, that 50 00:03:23,199 --> 00:03:23,840 would be great. 51 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 6: Well. 52 00:03:24,439 --> 00:03:27,199 Speaker 5: Yeah, so chef Paw is the first of it's kind 53 00:03:27,319 --> 00:03:31,879 at home dog food maker, and it cooks and it mixes, 54 00:03:32,319 --> 00:03:34,400 and it's about the size of a blender. It's a 55 00:03:34,479 --> 00:03:38,520 countertop appliance, it doesn't use up too much electricity, and 56 00:03:39,039 --> 00:03:42,120 you just put the fresh ingredients in it, ingredients from 57 00:03:42,199 --> 00:03:45,479 any grocery store, turn the machine on, and forty minutes 58 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,759 later you have six pounds of cooked and mixed dog food. 59 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,039 And we developed an app too that comes along with 60 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,400 it to give people a thorough guide, step by step 61 00:03:56,439 --> 00:04:00,360 of how to add ingredients into the machine. Because the 62 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,879 machine has a built in scale and so it really 63 00:04:02,919 --> 00:04:06,039 makes everything streamlined and straightforward. 64 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,159 Speaker 2: So we're going to talk more about this later. But 65 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,520 you really thought, I mean, you really thought this out, Chapa, 66 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,039 there's a scale, there is a it does it all 67 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,399 in one, you know, chopsy ingredients, cooks the ingredients, waist 68 00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:21,920 the ingredients. I mean, it's really user friendly. Is that 69 00:04:21,959 --> 00:04:24,560 what you were thinking when you came up with that 70 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,519 we have to do everything all in one? 71 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 4: Well? 72 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,519 Speaker 5: Yeah, the original inspiration behind it was I've been on 73 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,839 a quest ever since I had my own dog in 74 00:04:34,879 --> 00:04:36,879 two thousand, I've been on a quest to find the 75 00:04:36,879 --> 00:04:39,839 best dog food, and over years and years that led 76 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:44,800 me to fresh store bought dog food. And then I 77 00:04:44,879 --> 00:04:48,600 noticed that what my really active labrador was not able 78 00:04:48,639 --> 00:04:51,079 to get enough calories. I was having to feed him large, 79 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,199 really large portions, which I felt dangerously large portions. And 80 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,879 then my other dog, a bulldog, he developed food allergies, 81 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,279 and so I needed to find way to customize that 82 00:05:01,399 --> 00:05:04,839 fresh food. And so that's where I started going down 83 00:05:05,079 --> 00:05:08,439 a quest of trying to see how can I recreate 84 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:14,160 the best store bought fresh foods and customize them really, 85 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,959 really easily. So when I suspected that my bulldog was 86 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,560 allergic to chicken, I put them on a novel protein 87 00:05:21,639 --> 00:05:24,439 diet that had definitely no chicken in it, and then 88 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,000 once that once after being on the novel protein diet 89 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,480 for two months, and that resolved all of his symptoms. 90 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,600 I used our original prototype chef bomb machines to change 91 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,399 one ingredient at a time in his recipe in order 92 00:05:39,439 --> 00:05:43,600 to identify which things, which foods he was allergic to, 93 00:05:43,959 --> 00:05:46,600 and how to customize it. And we actually started off 94 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,240 making unreasonably large machines that were making like one hundred 95 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,839 pounds of dog food at a time. But once we 96 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,399 nailed down the proof of concept and the recipes that 97 00:05:56,399 --> 00:06:00,480 we were developing cured my bulldog's skin allergy and his 98 00:06:00,519 --> 00:06:04,839 food allergies, and got my labrador enough energy to where 99 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,959 you could have a normal sized meal and be gaining weight, 100 00:06:09,439 --> 00:06:11,519 then we knew we were really onto something, and we 101 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,839 began working on scaling the machines that we the prototype 102 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,439 machines down to the smallest that they could be and 103 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,319 be really effective and make a decent size batch quickly. 104 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,680 And that's where we where we settled with the current 105 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,240 chef Paal machine making six pounds and forty minutes. 106 00:06:30,759 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 2: Okay, we're going to talk more about how it actually 107 00:06:33,399 --> 00:06:36,040 works and the app on our second half, but a 108 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,480 few more questions, So thank you. That was great information 109 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,279 on how it came about. What if you buy fresh 110 00:06:43,319 --> 00:06:47,439 food but your dog doesn't have allergies, is not super 111 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,680 active because most dogs are not too active, but some are, 112 00:06:51,759 --> 00:06:55,199 but most are not. So for the average dog at home, 113 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,240 what is the benefit of making your own dog food 114 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,120 versus says, Let's take it a step further, say you're 115 00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:07,399 not buying fresh versus canned and dry food together. A 116 00:07:07,439 --> 00:07:09,639 lot of people do wet food, some do wet and 117 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,879 dry viewer, I think, from my experience, do just dry. 118 00:07:14,519 --> 00:07:18,399 So what are the benefits just making your own food 119 00:07:18,519 --> 00:07:21,639 versus buying canned and everything? I mean, prices have gone 120 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,800 up for dog food like double in the last three years. 121 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,439 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, tell me about it. That's what 122 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,959 that was. The second motivator behind it was the price. 123 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,800 I was spending over one thousand dollars a month for 124 00:07:32,879 --> 00:07:36,000 two average sized dogs and that was really bad. 125 00:07:36,079 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 2: And I mean for fresh food though, right. 126 00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:42,079 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, And all that aside, the first real benefit 127 00:07:42,879 --> 00:07:46,120 is their poops, their poops becoming easy to pick up. 128 00:07:46,279 --> 00:07:47,959 I'm sure a lot of pet parents out there have 129 00:07:48,439 --> 00:07:52,680 encountered the horrible situation where you switch to a new food, 130 00:07:52,839 --> 00:07:56,959 whether it's fresh or dry or canned, and their bowels 131 00:07:56,959 --> 00:07:59,560 don't react to it well and it makes an absolute mess. 132 00:07:59,639 --> 00:08:02,920 And especially if you have more than one dog, then 133 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,279 the first dog makes a mess, the second dog steps 134 00:08:05,279 --> 00:08:09,480 in it, and then you're just it's just chaos. So yeah, 135 00:08:09,519 --> 00:08:11,879 So that is one of the things we're very proud 136 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:16,439 of is with our recipes, dogs get perfect poops right 137 00:08:16,439 --> 00:08:19,839 off the bat. There's little to no transition that's needed 138 00:08:19,879 --> 00:08:22,720 to go from dry food or can food over to 139 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:27,839 our recipes, and that is that's one of my favorite 140 00:08:27,839 --> 00:08:30,399 things about it really that I don't have to the 141 00:08:30,399 --> 00:08:31,800 messes that I've avoided. 142 00:08:32,039 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 2: So wait, so if there's good poops, that means that 143 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,159 they're digesting it without a lot of issues. 144 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,919 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, thanks for bringing that up. That was the 145 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,559 other thing that I noticed too, is hands down, fresh 146 00:08:45,639 --> 00:08:49,320 food was better than all the drying can foods out there. 147 00:08:49,919 --> 00:08:52,919 I was noticing that no matter how expensive of fresh 148 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,879 foods I was buying, the dogs were having irregular bowel 149 00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:01,360 movements and you could see half of the ingredients in 150 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,480 their poop undigested because it's either undercooked or two larger 151 00:09:05,519 --> 00:09:08,799 pieces were not you know, cud into small enough pieces. Yeah, 152 00:09:08,919 --> 00:09:11,720 so it was. It was. It was a combination of 153 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,159 spending one thousand dollars a month on the best store 154 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,799 bought dog food that I could get, plus seeing them 155 00:09:16,919 --> 00:09:19,159 making a mess of you know, when they're when they're 156 00:09:19,399 --> 00:09:22,159 they're pooping everywhere, and then seeing that they're not digesting 157 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,080 a lot of those ingredients that I'm paying top dollar for. 158 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,000 And so part of the original mission with the chef 159 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,960 PA was make sure make sure that it's you know, 160 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,840 it's not enough to just have fresh food. It needs 161 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,440 to be cooked perfectly and you know, so that it's 162 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,559 so that it's digestible. And the flip side of that 163 00:09:39,759 --> 00:09:43,039 is it's got to be not overcooked. So many, so 164 00:09:43,039 --> 00:09:46,159 many of the foods out there are are are overcooked, 165 00:09:46,159 --> 00:09:48,840 whether it's fresh or I mean kibble by definition is 166 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,320 is overcooked. But a lot of the fresh foods out there, 167 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,320 and when people make homemade foods too, they they tend 168 00:09:56,399 --> 00:09:59,159 to overcook it and that that comes with its own 169 00:09:59,200 --> 00:09:59,960 set of problems. 170 00:10:00,159 --> 00:10:03,799 Speaker 2: Let me ask you this, what about raw which I'm 171 00:10:03,799 --> 00:10:05,440 going to try to keep my opinion out of that, 172 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,799 but I'm passionate about my opinion on raw food. But 173 00:10:11,399 --> 00:10:15,360 what about raw, Because I've heard that a lot of 174 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,440 guests recently and learned a lot about raw, and a 175 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,399 lot of people think raw is the way to go. 176 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,919 But you know, Chef Paup cooks the food. 177 00:10:23,519 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a good point. We cook at a very 178 00:10:25,639 --> 00:10:30,039 low temperature. So I think the raw diet is great. 179 00:10:30,159 --> 00:10:33,159 It's really great. It's a tremendous improvement, and I really 180 00:10:33,159 --> 00:10:37,159 applaud people that try it. But for every five people 181 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,279 that we've talked to who say that they are on 182 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,960 the raw diet and they really like it, we come 183 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,200 across ten people who say that they tried the raw 184 00:10:46,279 --> 00:10:49,360 diet and had a horrible experience with it, And that 185 00:10:49,399 --> 00:10:52,840 horrible experience usually winds up at some point being like 186 00:10:52,879 --> 00:10:56,440 a salmonilla contamination that gets either the dog very sick 187 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:01,200 or their children very sick. And so basically the Chef 188 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,240 Paw recipes in the machine, it's designed to take all 189 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,559 the benefits of raw and just cook it just enough 190 00:11:09,879 --> 00:11:13,840 so that you've sanitized it and eliminated any harmful bacteria. 191 00:11:14,519 --> 00:11:17,480 And to that end, people still said, there are a 192 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,679 lot of people that would say, hey, you know, any 193 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,679 cooking at all is going to destroy nutrients. 194 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 2: That's not true. 195 00:11:22,919 --> 00:11:26,039 Speaker 5: Well, yeah, on some level, as you heat there are 196 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,519 things that will break down. But to prove that once 197 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,759 and for all, a few months ago, we sent in 198 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,639 samples of our primary recipe. Well we have forty recipes, 199 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,440 but our recipe number one, we sent it in to 200 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,559 get tested. We made one batch of it with our machine, 201 00:11:44,039 --> 00:11:46,399 but we didn't cook it, and we just blended it. 202 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,120 Our machine has many different speeds. It can mix really 203 00:11:49,159 --> 00:11:51,720 gently and make it chunky, or you can turn up 204 00:11:51,759 --> 00:11:54,080 the mixing speed and blend it to a complete pure 205 00:11:54,279 --> 00:11:57,440 if needed. So we took one batch and just blended it, 206 00:11:57,519 --> 00:12:01,080 no heat, no cooking whatsoever, and sent that in for testing, 207 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,440 and then made an identical batch and blended it up 208 00:12:04,519 --> 00:12:06,879 just as much, but cooked it at the normal chef 209 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,480 Pac cooking temperatures, which is one hundred c or two 210 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,919 hundred and twelve degrees fahrenheit. And what happens is when 211 00:12:13,919 --> 00:12:16,399 it's cooked in the chef Pal machine, the food is 212 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:21,559 really only encountering temperatures that are above about one hundred 213 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,200 and sixty fahrenheit for the last ten minutes of the 214 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,919 cooking cycle, So the food's only encountering low temperature cooking 215 00:12:29,039 --> 00:12:30,759 only for a few minutes toward the end of the 216 00:12:30,759 --> 00:12:33,639 cooking cycle, and it's just enough to soften things like 217 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,559 carrots and sweet potatoes and rice, but it's not enough 218 00:12:37,639 --> 00:12:41,000 to break down nutrients. And so we sent in the 219 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,279 second sample of the cooked and blended recipe. We were 220 00:12:45,279 --> 00:12:47,799 surprised to find that I expected to find at least 221 00:12:47,799 --> 00:12:50,279 a little bit of a breakdown. There was virtually none. 222 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,320 There was less than two percent moisture loss from the cooking, 223 00:12:54,639 --> 00:12:59,279 and there was virtually no caloric loss. There were even 224 00:12:59,399 --> 00:13:03,279 things like some carbohydrates were increased because starches were converted 225 00:13:03,279 --> 00:13:06,440 over and you know, we tested for zinc amounts and 226 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,600 adine amounts and vitamins and all that, and it didn't 227 00:13:09,639 --> 00:13:14,919 break down. There was no appreciable, no statistically appreciable breakdown 228 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,600 when of any of the nutrients when you cook with 229 00:13:17,879 --> 00:13:19,080 our chef Pal machine. 230 00:13:19,279 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 2: So I was right. I love to be right, but 231 00:13:21,639 --> 00:13:23,720 I didn't really know that I was right. But I 232 00:13:23,799 --> 00:13:26,720 understand what you're saying, and you hit on it when 233 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,519 you said about raw That's one thing that bothers me 234 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,879 is that there's bacteria in law. So I'm not discounting law, 235 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,879 but there's bacteria, so you have to be aware of that. Yeah, 236 00:13:38,039 --> 00:13:43,200 we're going to take a short break. We'll be right back, Molly. 237 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:48,279 Here's your dinner.

We're talking to Matt Tarrell. He is 254 00:14:52,679 --> 00:14:55,679 the co founder and CEO of operations for Chef Paul. 255 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,320 We had a very lively first part of the show, 256 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,600 and I'm excited to get onto this second part. So 257 00:15:02,639 --> 00:15:05,559 we talked about the importance of Chef pa You know 258 00:15:05,639 --> 00:15:09,360 what it does the like cooking for the nutritional benefits 259 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,039 are there there, they're just it seems like there's not 260 00:15:13,279 --> 00:15:17,360 much of a difference between raw and the Chef pau cooking. 261 00:15:17,639 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, just no, there's no. It's all the benefits of raw, 262 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,399 but none of the risk of equal. 263 00:15:23,159 --> 00:15:27,279 Speaker 2: Eye very good. Is it similar to okay, just so 264 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,120 people have an idea. I haven't even red meat in 265 00:15:30,159 --> 00:15:33,399 more decades than I want to say, but is it 266 00:15:33,519 --> 00:15:37,639 similar to like maybe a rare steak where it's cooked 267 00:15:37,679 --> 00:15:40,320 a little bit so that it's safer to eat, but 268 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,759 it's still what would be a good visual as far 269 00:15:43,799 --> 00:15:45,559 as how lightly it's cooked. 270 00:15:45,399 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 5: Well, that all depends on what mixing speed you select, 271 00:15:48,679 --> 00:15:51,840 and there's four different cooking mixing speeds to choose from. 272 00:15:52,159 --> 00:15:56,200 The first one is very gentle. It rotates very slowly, 273 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:02,399 you know, maybe like ten rpm. And the rotating blades 274 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,080 they're sharp on one side and dull on the other. 275 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:09,279 And so what the basic number one speed setting does 276 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,919 is it rotates in the toward the sharp blade direction. 277 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,799 For thirty seconds, and so it's doing it's doing very 278 00:16:15,919 --> 00:16:19,759 minor chopped chopping and cutting and doing it slowly, and 279 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,200 then every thirty seconds it stops and it reverses its 280 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,879 direction and so now the dul the dull side of 281 00:16:26,919 --> 00:16:29,840 the of the mixing blade is pushing the food and 282 00:16:29,879 --> 00:16:33,039 so there's no cutting there. It's just mixing everything around. 283 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:38,279 So that has the effect of distributing the heat evenly 284 00:16:38,519 --> 00:16:41,240 across all the foods. So it's not going to be 285 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,399 like a steak that's that's even though it's even though 286 00:16:44,399 --> 00:16:47,320 it's low temp, it's not quite analogous to a steak 287 00:16:47,399 --> 00:16:50,960 that's cooked rare because you know, the steak's not getting 288 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:56,440 cooked from the inside out. It's getting for most cooking methods. 289 00:16:55,559 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 2: That's my analogy. Okay, what was similar to. 290 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,919 Speaker 5: It would be it would be similar to more like 291 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,440 more like ground beef in a stew. The main part 292 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,440 of it is to is to make sure everything is 293 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:14,359 cooked evenly, and most pets really like like chunky foods, 294 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:19,160 so we really designed the machine to cook at the 295 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:24,680 lowest temperature possible and just get everything evenly cooked. I'm 296 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,160 sure people that have tried cooking homemade before with like 297 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,599 a pressure cooker or an instapot. They've noticed that the 298 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,880 food on the on the outsides of the bowl will 299 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,960 be cooked, but then the food in the center is 300 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,079 not cooked because there's no mixing going on in those devices. 301 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:46,079 So yeah, fortunately blenders don't cook and instapots don't mix. 302 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:50,119 And so we've we've done the chef Pause. Primary primary 303 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,920 achievement is to is to combine both of those mixing 304 00:17:54,039 --> 00:17:57,920 and cooking into one machine. But it's not that's not 305 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,720 enough to to get a success full batch reliably without 306 00:18:01,759 --> 00:18:03,519 having to put a lot of thought into it. And 307 00:18:03,519 --> 00:18:06,319 that's where the chef Pot app that we developed comes in. 308 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,839 Speaker 2: I'm sorry to cut you off, it's exactly what I 309 00:18:08,839 --> 00:18:11,240 was going to ask you about. How does the app work? 310 00:18:11,279 --> 00:18:15,559 Because there's recipes in the app. There's some focus on 311 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:20,359 from the recipes on allergy, on nutrition, on renal health, 312 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,960 on if you need low calorie. 313 00:18:23,079 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, We've come up with a lot of recipes 314 00:18:25,279 --> 00:18:28,559 and they're all inspired by either my own pets, my 315 00:18:28,559 --> 00:18:34,400 family's pets, and our customers calling in and having a request. 316 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,160 And I'm one hundred percent certain that we're going to 317 00:18:37,279 --> 00:18:40,319 keep rolling out new recipes. You know, I would be. 318 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,079 I'm going to be surprised if this time next year 319 00:18:42,079 --> 00:18:44,039 we don't have a couple hundred recipes in the app. 320 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,160 Speaker 2: I think you'll ever have it recipes for cats? 321 00:18:47,559 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 5: Oh yeah. In fact, people have been asking us that 322 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:54,039 every single day. And the reason why I haven't released 323 00:18:54,079 --> 00:18:58,680 that yet is because the cats are formulating a homemade 324 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,559 recipe for a cat is a little more complicated than 325 00:19:02,839 --> 00:19:06,240 than for dogs, or for humans or any other pets really, 326 00:19:06,839 --> 00:19:10,079 So we wanted to have we we wanted to have more. 327 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,799 We wanted to have more nutritionists and veterinarians give their 328 00:19:13,839 --> 00:19:18,119 feedback on what that would need to be. And there's 329 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:22,559 a kind of a universal sentiment amongst the nutritionists and 330 00:19:22,559 --> 00:19:27,839 the veterinarians that unlike the wide variety of dog recipes 331 00:19:27,839 --> 00:19:30,839 that we have for cats, it needs to be just 332 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:35,839 a much narrower set just too. So we've been we've 333 00:19:35,839 --> 00:19:38,359 been working on it, and we just we actually just 334 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,880 coincidentally sealed the deal with a with a board certified 335 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:46,279 nutritionists to sign up to sign off and uh and 336 00:19:47,039 --> 00:19:52,119 finalize to cat recipes. And we already many months ago, 337 00:19:52,319 --> 00:19:56,079 we already finished the on the back end of the 338 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,880 software and the app we created the ability to add 339 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,279 more species, and so it's all I have to do 340 00:20:02,319 --> 00:20:04,640 is flip a switch and cats will be will be 341 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,680 an option on there where. Yeah, within just a couple 342 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,400 of weeks, we're going to have the first the first 343 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,759 two cat recipes turned on and everyone will be able 344 00:20:13,759 --> 00:20:14,240 to use that. 345 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:15,319 Speaker 2: I can't wait. 346 00:20:15,599 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 5: Thanks, I'm looking forward to it. 347 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 2: I tested Chef Paul, but my dogs are in doggy Heaven, 348 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:25,440 so I had to test it for my nephew dog, Charlie, 349 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:31,079 and for Tilly, my friend dog. So but cats, and 350 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:35,440 my cats eat everything, even Lettuce. Dennis likes Lettuce. I 351 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:36,240 don't get that. 352 00:20:38,079 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 5: All right. 353 00:20:38,799 --> 00:20:42,079 Speaker 2: So earlier when we were first talking, Matt, you mentioned 354 00:20:42,079 --> 00:20:45,440 you can click six pounds of food in forty minutes. 355 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,759 I don't think my dogs ate nearly that much in 356 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,640 a day. What is the average, isn't it like? What 357 00:20:53,759 --> 00:20:55,079 is the average sized portion? 358 00:20:55,519 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 5: Well, the average sized portion I would probably be best 359 00:20:59,279 --> 00:21:03,319 to find by what the NRC calls at. What the 360 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,400 all the NRC nutritional standards revolve around. And that's a 361 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,599 thirty three pound dog eating a thousand calories a day. 362 00:21:11,039 --> 00:21:12,640 I don't know off the top of my head how 363 00:21:13,079 --> 00:21:18,359 many that how many cups that is, But that's at 364 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,279 least a week of food for the average dog. 365 00:21:20,599 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 2: So this is easier than going to the store. I 366 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,440 mean you have to get the store to buy the ingredients, 367 00:21:25,519 --> 00:21:28,599 but then for a week, and is it best to 368 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,119 have it frozen or is it best to just you 369 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,480 can keep it fresh in your fridge for a week. 370 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,799 Speaker 5: Yeah, there's such a wide variety of applications. There's a 371 00:21:36,839 --> 00:21:39,880 lot of people that have small dogs where the six 372 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,799 pound batch would last a month, and so that's it's 373 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,319 kind of excessive for them, and so they really ought 374 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,519 to select the half batch option in the app. And 375 00:21:49,599 --> 00:21:51,960 that and because the app gives you regardless of what 376 00:21:52,039 --> 00:21:54,960 batch size you choose, the app gives you, well, let 377 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,519 me say, regardless of which batch size you choose, and 378 00:21:57,559 --> 00:22:00,720 regardless of which recipe you choose, the app gives you 379 00:22:00,759 --> 00:22:04,319 step by step instructions on which ingredients to add and 380 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,880 how much to the machine. And so a lot of 381 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,319 people that have really small dogs, they opt to do 382 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,799 the half batch option. And that half batch option will 383 00:22:13,839 --> 00:22:16,200 make three point one or three point two pounds in 384 00:22:16,279 --> 00:22:20,079 twenty minutes, sometimes twenty five, but it basically and double 385 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,240 the speed there's a lot of other people who want 386 00:22:23,519 --> 00:22:27,200 even more that have have much larger dogs, and so 387 00:22:27,519 --> 00:22:30,400 they opt to do batches back to back and then 388 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:35,200 refrigerate the portions. There's actually people a lot of people 389 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,400 don't know this, but there's actually a lot of benefit 390 00:22:38,599 --> 00:22:41,279 to cooling the food all the way down to refrigeration 391 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:47,799 temperature before before reserving it. There's a like, for example, rice, 392 00:22:48,079 --> 00:22:51,720 when you when you cook it fully and then refrigerate 393 00:22:51,759 --> 00:22:56,039 it down, the starches get converted into what's called a 394 00:22:56,079 --> 00:22:59,839 resistance starch, and so that the resistance starches feed the 395 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:05,119 good gut bacteria and tend to reduce insulin spikes. Besides that, 396 00:23:05,519 --> 00:23:08,039 we never want to feed our dog's food that's too hot, 397 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:12,119 so it's it's always best to refrigerate first before serving 398 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,400 it to them. And if you have excess food for 399 00:23:15,599 --> 00:23:18,599 your dog, made nexcess number of batches, or you have 400 00:23:19,079 --> 00:23:24,039 a small dog, it's completely fine to freeze that the food. 401 00:23:23,799 --> 00:23:27,079 Speaker 2: Also okay freezing it and then okay, so in there's 402 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,319 detha and there you go. Okay, So it's basically as 403 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,039 easy as looking at the recipe, buying the ingredients. 404 00:23:34,319 --> 00:23:36,839 Speaker 5: Yeah, and we've actually planned to take it a step 405 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,160 further than that and make it even easier. You may 406 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,759 have noticed in the app there's a when you select 407 00:23:42,799 --> 00:23:46,400 a recipe, there's a button called grocery list, and if 408 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:50,440 you select that, it gives you a simple grocery list 409 00:23:50,519 --> 00:23:54,400 with checkboxes next to each ingredient and a description of 410 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:59,119 how much the how much of each ingredient is needed 411 00:23:59,559 --> 00:24:04,680 in turn of grams or ounces or pounds, because you know, 412 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,240 some some things in the store are sold in out sizes, 413 00:24:07,319 --> 00:24:12,480 others are sold in in pound sizes, so makes makes 414 00:24:12,519 --> 00:24:15,799 everything really really streamlined there. And we're not stopping at 415 00:24:15,839 --> 00:24:22,640 that though. We're planning on combining that grocery list function 416 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,880 with same day delivery network such as Smart and Final 417 00:24:27,799 --> 00:24:30,480 or like Misfit Foods. 418 00:24:31,079 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 4: UH. 419 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 5: We're we've been we're reaching out to UH to those 420 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,400 to those companies to get that arrangement done. But we've 421 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,359 already laid all of the infrastructure for it on the 422 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,519 on the back end in the app. It's ready to go. 423 00:24:43,599 --> 00:24:46,319 All we have to do is just get a same 424 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:51,240 day fulfillment grocery store to let us send customers to them. 425 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,920 We don't we're not even gonna take a cut of 426 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,400 it in any way, we just want our customers to 427 00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:02,599 have the easiest way to fulfill their grocery list at home. 428 00:25:02,839 --> 00:25:05,079 So it would be ideal if you don't even have 429 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,359 to go to the grocery store. You just open up 430 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,119 the app, select which rescue you want to make, select 431 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:16,240 the grocery list, and then tap and then select which 432 00:25:16,519 --> 00:25:20,880 ingredients you're short of, and then export that over to 433 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,599 the Smart and Final or the same day delivery network 434 00:25:24,599 --> 00:25:27,119 and then arrise at your door. 435 00:25:27,279 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 2: Can't beat that. Okay, we have a couple more minutes. 436 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,960 Let's talk about cost, because I know my listeners and 437 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,960 I'm sure people are listening and saying this sounds good, 438 00:25:37,039 --> 00:25:41,319 but it's probably going to cost a fortune. So I'm 439 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:45,839 a big believer in how cost effective something is, because 440 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,640 there are times I will buy something that's inexpensive and 441 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,799 I use it once or twice and it goes in 442 00:25:51,839 --> 00:25:54,680 the garbage or it fails me, so what's the point. 443 00:25:54,759 --> 00:25:58,160 But sometimes if you spend the money on something, the 444 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,599 effectiveness is worth it. So oh yeah, what's the cost 445 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,119 of the chef paw. 446 00:26:03,559 --> 00:26:06,640 Speaker 5: Well, the upfront cost of the chef paw on sale 447 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,519 is going to be five ninety nine right now, and 448 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:16,799 we also have the it's a firm payment method where 449 00:26:16,839 --> 00:26:20,359 you can break that down into monthly payments of I 450 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:24,839 believe forty nine dollars. But it pays for itself incredibly fast. 451 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,240 In my in my circumstance with just a labrador and 452 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,240 a bulldog, even if I didn't own the company and 453 00:26:31,279 --> 00:26:32,880 I wasn't the inventor of this and I was just 454 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,200 buying it at full retail price, it would pay for 455 00:26:35,279 --> 00:26:37,200 itself because, like I said, I was spending one thousand 456 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,359 dollars a month of just food. I don't want to 457 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,920 say the name of the company. I was spending one 458 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,640 thousand dollars a month and on what I felt was 459 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,240 the best possible store bought food and having and still 460 00:26:49,279 --> 00:26:51,960 having a major problem with it. In my specific case, 461 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,160 it pays for itself in just a few weeks. The 462 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,240 average person, it pays for it's the machine would pay 463 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,440 for itself in a few months the average. 464 00:27:00,519 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 2: So, say, if it's somebody that really wants to do, 465 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,319 you know, something different for their dogs, they're going from 466 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:12,279 canned to fresh, so probably for can they were probably 467 00:27:12,319 --> 00:27:17,559 spending cost of groceries today, probably about we'll say a 468 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,039 forty pound dog close to the thirty three, probably about 469 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:22,480 what forty bucks a month. 470 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I really like that. There's one common denominator 471 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,359 behind all the dog foods and the regular foods and 472 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,559 what we're used to, and that's cost per pound. I 473 00:27:30,599 --> 00:27:33,240 really like breaking everything down into cost per pound. That 474 00:27:33,319 --> 00:27:36,759 way you can have in apples for apples comparison of 475 00:27:36,839 --> 00:27:42,400 all the different food options. So the average kibble is 476 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,799 going to cost about a dollar a pound. The best 477 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,640 kibble can get up to about a dollar fifty or 478 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,960 even two dollars a pound. Canned food gets a little 479 00:27:50,279 --> 00:27:52,160 it starts out a little bit higher than that. But 480 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,359 fresh door bought food you can't you can't really find 481 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,519 it for under two dollars a pound. And the average 482 00:27:58,599 --> 00:28:01,519 average door bought fresh food's going up to four or five. 483 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,359 Some of them are even ten to twenty dollars a pound. 484 00:28:04,559 --> 00:28:07,200 And we're not talking about like some exotic venison or 485 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:11,359 you know, some tuna. It's it's it's just just store 486 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:12,079 abought dog food. 487 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 2: Well, I recomment because you didn't say the name. I'm 488 00:28:15,279 --> 00:28:17,759 not going to say any names either, But when you 489 00:28:17,799 --> 00:28:20,119 said one thousand a month for people that are listening, 490 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,160 that are going really This was about a year ago, 491 00:28:23,279 --> 00:28:25,599 and I saw a dog food that this is when 492 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,400 mister Z was still around, you know, was longer than 493 00:28:28,559 --> 00:28:32,000 this was for Nicky. Sorry. So I was looking at 494 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,839 this brand and what it would cost. And this is 495 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:39,319 for a thirteen pound dog. He was thirteen or fourteen pounds. 496 00:28:39,519 --> 00:28:43,119 It was close to three hundred for one. That was 497 00:28:43,559 --> 00:28:45,880 a couple of years or so ago. So I you 498 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,920 A thousand dollars is not yeah. 499 00:28:47,759 --> 00:28:49,519 Speaker 5: And it doesn't start it didn't start out at one 500 00:28:49,559 --> 00:28:52,279 thousand dollars per month. All these fresh food companies, they 501 00:28:52,799 --> 00:28:55,359 they give you deals to get you in and then 502 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,960 it's not. It's not until like a month into it 503 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,400 and you're you know, your dog's used to that food. 504 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,599 And then they they the discounts and the deal stop 505 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,200 and you get the real price. And the real price 506 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,000 is always shocking, and they do a really good job 507 00:29:10,359 --> 00:29:13,319 of not of obfuscating what the cost per pound is. 508 00:29:13,559 --> 00:29:16,640 They'll say, oh, we're gonna we're gonna be sending you 509 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:21,079 there are twelve meals for fifty nine dollars. And then 510 00:29:21,119 --> 00:29:23,480 you know, if you're like, wait a minute, each meal 511 00:29:23,559 --> 00:29:26,359 is is a couple ounces, so you're talking a few pounds, 512 00:29:26,599 --> 00:29:28,920 like you know, and then then wait, wait, then all 513 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:30,319 of a sudden you realize, wait a minute, I just 514 00:29:30,359 --> 00:29:33,839 paid fifty nine dollars for three pounds of food. It's 515 00:29:34,279 --> 00:29:36,359 it's we get that a lot from our customers, and 516 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,480 really the only way is that is to look at 517 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,400 it as cost per pound and so on. In our 518 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:45,160 app the when you select a recipe, it shows you 519 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:49,480 what the average cost is going to be. And you know, 520 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,440 obviously we can't we're not quoting. We can't tell you 521 00:29:51,519 --> 00:29:53,200 what the price is exactly going to be because it 522 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,200 depends on what story you're going to. But we show 523 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,359 the average price in there. And now the average price 524 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,759 for our for our our recipes is in the two 525 00:30:01,839 --> 00:30:05,640 dollars range. We have some we want to be extending 526 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:10,200 chef pa into working with shelters and getting shelter dogs 527 00:30:10,519 --> 00:30:13,640 to be able to have good quality, fresh dog food 528 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,960 that is free of all the typical allergies. So we're 529 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,920 to have the best possible reaction to the widest variety 530 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,559 of dogs. And to that end, we needed to make 531 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:26,200 up really affordable recipes specifically for shelters. We call it 532 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,880 the Econ Dog Recipe set. I have four different econ 533 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,519 dog recipes that we've made. They are down to they're 534 00:30:33,559 --> 00:30:34,839 under a dollar fifty a pound. 535 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:39,519 Speaker 2: Wow, how about lasting? You know, because someone people listening 536 00:30:39,519 --> 00:30:42,240 and I'd say, wow, six hundred dollars and you're going 537 00:30:42,319 --> 00:30:44,720 to give me a good honest stance over this. How 538 00:30:44,799 --> 00:30:46,839 durable is chef pa. 539 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 5: The original two prototypes of the current machine that we're 540 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,119 selling right now. I've been using it myself for two 541 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,759 and a half years and trying everything I could to 542 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,240 find a way to break it. I use it, I 543 00:30:58,319 --> 00:31:01,720 use outdoor in my front yard when it rains. I 544 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,279 do I you know, I do, I do. I'll do 545 00:31:04,559 --> 00:31:06,279 all kinds of things to get it, to get them 546 00:31:06,319 --> 00:31:09,079 to break. They haven't. We have a two year warranty 547 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:13,160 on the machine, and in another year from now, if 548 00:31:13,279 --> 00:31:15,960 things keep going on this track, we'll probably expend extend 549 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:17,839 it out to a three year warranty. But I'm very, 550 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:22,640 very confident that that two year warranty is going to 551 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,039 be plenty of make plenty of sense for us, and 552 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:30,319 we're keeping our return rate and our warranty rate under 553 00:31:30,359 --> 00:31:34,000 one percent.
