RETAILER PILOT PROPOSAL · OCTOBER 2026
A better shop starts
in your kitchen.
A working household planner and a proposed DO shopping journey: use what is already home, prepare what is needed, and keep the customer in control.
The customer problem
Shopping plans change when children are away, dinner moves or food needs using. A household needs a simple way to connect what it owns with what it buys next.
The experience
Explore a 3D kitchen, adjust the week and prepare a shopping list. In the proposed connected journey, one DO uses the chosen retailer’s store, products and prices to prepare a trolley for review.
What can be demonstrated today
Interactive 3D, sample inventory, household scenarios, meal swaps, planned shopping quantities and an editable, simulated DO review. The full Kitchen Machine also supports locally processed receipt text with human review. Real retailer prices and trolley actions through DO are not enabled. No retailer partnership or endorsement is claimed.
A proposed four-week pilot
- One retailer and a consenting household test group.
- Start with kitchen-to-list preparation and a defined pickup journey.
- Agree the retailer-approved integration, permitted data and named support owners.
- Enable bounded trolley actions only after account/store binding, current prices, approval and read-back are verified.
What we would measure
- Time to prepare a useful shop and edits needed.
- Customer confidence and understanding of approval.
- Self-reported use of food already at home.
- Product-match errors, abandoned steps and escalation.
- Completion against an agreed baseline, without treating basket growth as the only success measure.
Customer control
One DO connection across supported retailers; separate consent for each account. Customer review before consequential actions, checkout with the retailer, clear disconnect and correction paths, and an evidence record of what was approved and what happened.
What a retailer brings
A digital/product contact, a permitted catalogue and trolley integration path, store and fulfilment rules, and a service escalation owner. Scope, privacy, technical validation and success measures are agreed before live testing.
The invitation: explore one useful pickup journey.
Try the demonstration, then decide together whether a bounded pilot is worth testing. Commercial impact, savings and waste reduction remain hypotheses until measured.
