Every meal planned. Groceries ordered. A chef on call.
Set up your household once. Celeste, the chef behind gourmait, quietly runs your household's kitchen. She plans every meal, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, for every person, and orders the groceries to match: fresh food, pantry staples, even supplements and household essentials, on the schedule you set. And when you don't want to cook, she routes your week to a nearby partner kitchen that prepares everything fresh, never frozen, for you to pick up.
We spelled it gourmait so you'd know there's real intelligence behind every meal. gourmait is the app. Celeste is the chef behind it — the one who plans, shops, and arranges every week, and the voice you'll come to know.
The Problem We Solve
Mealtime shouldn't be the hardest part of your day.
Between picky eaters, food allergies, dietary restrictions, and a full calendar, getting food on the table is a daily battle, and it's not just dinner. It's breakfast, lunch, snacks, and the groceries behind all of them. gourmait takes the whole thing off your plate.
01
By dinner, you're out of decisions
You make hundreds of choices before 6pm: at work, for the kids, for the house. Decision fatigue is real, and dinner lands at the worst possible moment. So you order takeout you didn't budget for, again.
02
No app handles a real household
A toddler, a nut-allergic teen, a diabetic partner, and an aging parent all eat at the same table. Generic meal planners pretend that's simple. It isn't.
03
Planning and groceries were never connected
You plan meals on one app, shop on another, forget half the list, and waste a third of what you buy. gourmait closes the loop, end to end.
04
Some weeks, you don't want to cook at all
The Culinaire by Celeste add-on routes your week to a nearby partner kitchen that prepares everything fresh, never frozen, for you to pick up on your schedule. No cooking, no commitment.
Why gourmait
Everything between deciding and eating, handled.
Other tools hand you one piece and leave the rest to you. gourmait handles the whole thing, decide, shop, eat, and does it on your terms.
Priced to your household
No flat subscription that charges a family of two what a family of five spends on a full shop. You set the budget; Celeste plans to it.
This week, your stores
Local stores you already shop. No week-or-two wait for a box, no long-distance shipping that risks showing up late or not at all.
Plan and groceries, connected
One system from decision to cart, plus the fresh-kitchen option for the weeks you'd rather not cook at all.
We built gourmait on the belief that technology should work for people, not extract from them. That means transparent AI, privacy by design, and a model that creates real jobs in local communities rather than eliminating them.
Privacy by Design
Your data is never sold. Consent controls are in the app, not buried.
Safety-First Logic
Allergen and health flags hard-block meals. No soft warnings. No exceptions.
Real Jobs Created
Every Culinaire order sustains local chefs, drivers, and kitchen staff.
Equitable Access
Intelligent meal planning priced for every household, not just the few.
"Every touchpoint should feel like a well-staffed kitchen: anticipatory, unhurried, and quietly brilliant."
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and everything that fills the cart behind them. No planning. No list-making. No deciding what to eat, again. You tap once, and it's all handled, for as many people, servings, and days as you choose.
What one tap does
One tap. Then you're done for the week.
Everyone else leaves the work to you. With gourmait, a single tap sets the whole week in motion, and the only thing left for you to do is eat.
You tap once.
That's the whole job. Everything below happens on its own.
1
Every meal locks in
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner for everyone in your household, around your diets, allergies, and budget. You choose how many servings, how many days, and which days, Celeste plans the rest.
2
The shopping list builds itself
Every ingredient, the right quantities, totaled to your weekly budget. Nothing for you to write down.
3
The grocery order is placed
At the local store you already use, for pickup or delivery on your schedule.
3
Or it routes to Culinaire
The weeks you'd rather not cook, your plan goes to a nearby kitchen that prepares it fresh for pickup. Same one tap.
That's it. You're done for the week.
Only if you want to
Want to change something? Tap that too.
One tap handles everything, but nothing is locked away from you. Don't love a meal? Swap it, and the shopping list rebuilds itself instantly. Want to approve the cart before it's ordered? You always can. The thinking is optional. The control is always yours.
The setup takes minutes and feels effortless. Underneath, Celeste is capturing everything she needs to run your household's food on autopilot: who's eating, your budget, your store, how you shop, and what your family actually likes. Here's exactly how it works, screen by screen.
01 — Setup
Set it up once. Never explain your household again.
Here's the difference that matters: general AI chatbots can spit out a meal plan, but you have to re-enter every allergy, every preference, and every dietary restriction every single time you ask. And then you're still left to build the grocery list and place the order yourself. With gourmait, your household profile is one and done. Celeste remembers everything, plans around it automatically, and handles the shopping, week after week, without you starting over.
The setup itself feels effortless. In a few guided screens, profiles build from a shared household template, so you only adjust what's different for each person. You can update any profile or household detail whenever life changes, but you'll never re-enter it from scratch.
One-and-done setup. Enter your household once, never repeat it
Up to 6 profiles, covering age, diets, health conditions & allergies
Your weekly grocery budget. Celeste plans to it and never exceeds your spend limit
Your grocery retailer. The stores you already use, pickup or delivery
Cuisine preferences, go-to dishes, cooking confidence & prep time
Update any profile or household detail anytime, on your terms
Pick your goals
02 — Planning
Celeste plans it. But you're in control.
By default, Celeste plans a fresh week at a time. One base meal for the whole family, with smart modifications per person: your nut-allergic teen gets a safe version, your infant gets an unseasoned pull, your partner's heart-healthy swap is already in. Prefer fewer, bigger trips? Switch to 2-week planning anytime. It's an option, never a requirement.
And nothing is locked in. Don't love a suggestion? Swap any meal for whatever you want: paste a link to a recipe you found online, drop in a family heirloom recipe you've always made, or choose from gourmait's rotating featured meals. Celeste rebuilds your grocery list around your choice automatically. You never have to settle for exactly what she recommends.
Swap any meal. Paste a recipe link, add a family recipe, or pick a featured meal
Your grocery list rebuilds automatically around every swap
Weekly by default · optional 2-week horizon for bulk pricing

03 — Fulfillment
Groceries handled. You always approve.
Celeste compiles your precise grocery list, cross-checks your pantry, and builds the cart at your chosen store. Across every plan (Essential, Autopilot, and Household+), you approve the cart before anything is ordered, with the option to review and edit first. Pickup or delivery is your call each week. What changes by tier is how you interact: Autopilot and Household+ add voice & chat (manage the whole cart just by talking) and unlock the Culinaire by Celeste add-on.
Every plan approves the cart, with review & edit before it's placed
You choose your order day and pickup or delivery, every week
Pantry-aware, so it never orders what you already have
Brand-matched items & smart substitutions, never silent
Weekly spend limit + 10-minute cancel window on every order
Autopilot & Household+: voice & chat control + Culinaire access
Nothing ships until you approve
04 — Your Whole Household
Not just dinner. Everything your home runs on.
Keep your pantry current in a tap, and Celeste plans around what you already have, so you never buy a duplicate jar of olive oil again. But it goes further than food: add the everyday essentials your household needs, and Celeste folds them into the same cart.
Vitamins and supplements, pet food and litter, paper goods, cleaning supplies, baby items. Whatever keeps your home running can ride along with your groceries and route to your door. That's one less one-off trip for the things you always forget.
Update your pantry anytime. Celeste plans around what's already there
Add supplements & vitamins to the same cart
Pet food, litter & pet supplies, handled with your groceries
Household staples: paper goods, cleaning, baby items
One order, one delivery, no separate trips for the little things
Pantry & household staples
05 — The Game Changer
Some weeks, you just don't want to cook.
The Culinaire by Celeste add-on is always waiting on your home screen (Autopilot & Household+). One tap, and a partner kitchen near your home takes over. Celeste sends them your full meal brief, the groceries are rerouted, and your week's meals are prepared fresh, never frozen. You pick them up on the schedule you set. No commitment, add any week you need it.
And it's the smarter spend. Coming home with no energy to cook is how the week quietly turns into night after night of takeout and delivery fees, far more than you ever meant to spend. Culinaire uses the groceries you were already buying and has a professional prepare them, so a no-cook week stays close to your grocery budget instead of blowing past it.
A vetted partner kitchen close to your home
Prepared fresh, never frozen, the way you'd cook it
Built around your grocery budget, not surprise takeout costs
You set the pickup schedule that fits your week
Allergen-verified by a professional, labeled per member
Same seamless setup. Different levels of done-for-you.
Every plan starts with the same household setup and the same safety guarantees. On every plan, you approve your cart before anything is ordered. What changes is how much Celeste does on your behalf, and how you interact with her: by tap, or by voice and chat.

Culinaire by Celeste is the closest thing to having your own chef. A vetted kitchen near your home prepares your Celeste-planned meals fresh, never frozen, ready for pickup or delivery, with not a single pan for you to wash. We're reimagining who cooks: not just commercial prep kitchens, but small restaurants with capacity during their slow hours. It's gourmait's signature add-on, and the reason families choose us over every other app.
Five steps. Zero calls. No logistics on your end or the kitchen's.
01
Customer adds on
Subscriber taps Culinaire on the home screen, week by week, with no recurring charge.
02
Celeste briefs kitchen
Full culinary brief generated, covering every meal, allergy, portion, and prep note sent to the partner portal.
03
Groceries rerouted
Your grocery order is redirected to the partner kitchen, so ingredients arrive there, not your home.
04
Chefs prep your meals
Licensed culinary professionals execute the brief: prepped, portioned, labeled per member.
05
Delivered to your door
Chilled, ready to heat. gourmait owns delivery and customer service, so you just eat.
The part that surprises people
Private-chef luxury. Takeout-night math.
Here's what most people get wrong before they try it: they assume a personal chef is a splurge. It isn't. A single takeout night for the whole family, by the time everyone's ordered, the fees are added, and the tip is in, often costs about what a week of fresh, chef-prepared Culinaire meals does. You're not adding a luxury to your budget. You're redirecting what you already spend toward something far better.
One takeout night for the family. Or a week of meals, made by a chef.
Roughly the same spend. A completely different week.
For Kitchen Partners
Turn dead kitchen time into reliable revenue.
Whether you run a commercial prep kitchen or a small restaurant, you have capacity going unused during slow hours, staffed, equipped, and generating no revenue between the lunch and dinner rushes. gourmait routes household meal orders to partner kitchens during exactly those windows.
No customer acquisition. No menu R&D. No delivery logistics. A culinary brief arrives in your portal. Ingredients arrive at your kitchen. You prepare, package, and hand off. That's it.
Kitchen partners keep the majority of the add-on fee. gourmait's platform share covers AI, logistics coordination, and payment processing. Exact rates are shared during onboarding.

What You'll Need
All it takes to qualify.
No menu development, no marketing, no front-of-house. If you already run a working kitchen, you're most of the way there. Here's the full list:
A licensed kitchen. Commercial or restaurant space that meets your local health and food-safety requirements.
Experienced cooks. A team that can execute Celeste's prep briefs consistently during your slower hours.
Your business documents. The standard paperwork — licensing, insurance, and tax details — to get set up as a partner.
Internet access. A device and connection to receive orders and briefs through the partner portal.
Kitchen Partner Program
Become a founding kitchen partner.
We're inviting a select group of founding partners: commercial prep kitchens and small restaurants alike, to launch with us. Founding partners pay no platform fees to start, get early access to the partner portal, help shape how the program works, and receive co-marketing visibility on the platform. Kitchen partners operate on their own partner membership, separate from customer subscriptions.
All plans start with the same seamless profile setup. The tier controls how much Celeste does on your behalf. Every order includes a weekly spending limit, touch-to-confirm security, and a 10-minute cancel window. No credit card required to join the waitlist · Pricing announced at launch.
Add-On Feature
Restaurant quality. On demand. No commitment.
The Culinaire add-on is available week by week on Autopilot and Household+ plans. Activate any week you don't want to cook. Celeste handles the rest.
We use technology to give families their evenings back, support small food businesses, and create real, skilled employment in local communities.
From the Desk of Our Founder
gourmait didn't start as a startup. It started as a breaking point.
I'm a mother and a corporate executive. My weeks are built on back-to-back client deadlines, deliverables, and the kind of mental load that doesn't clock out when you walk through the door. There was one particular week. I don't think I need to describe it in detail, because if you're reading this, you probably know exactly what it felt like, where everything collided. Too many deadlines. Not enough hours. And somehow, on top of all of it, the weight of figuring out what to feed my family every single day.
It wasn't just the grocery run I didn't have time for. It was the mental tax of deciding. Planning. Remembering what everyone could and couldn't eat. Wondering if I had what I needed or if I needed to stop somewhere. And then cooking. Every day. Like a separate full-time job that nobody scheduled and everyone just expected.
I'd built my career helping organizations manage risk and complexity. I knew how to design systems that held up under pressure. But there was no system for this, for the daily operational burden of feeding a household when you are already running on empty.
So I built one. I built Celeste, an AI that learns your household like a family member would. She knows who has the nut allergy, who's heart-healthy, whose portion needs to be pulled before you season the pot. She plans the week. She builds the cart. She places the order. And on the weeks when you genuinely cannot do one more thing, she connects you to a licensed kitchen in your community that preps every meal and delivers it ready to heat.
This isn't about convenience for convenience's sake. It's about giving back something that was quietly being taken: the time and mental space to actually be present in your own home.
Laniece Holt
Founder & Chief Executive Officer · gourmait
Our Mission
Eliminate the daily mental load of meal planning and grocery fulfillment for every household, while creating meaningful employment and supporting small food businesses through intelligent, responsible technology.
Our Belief
AI should amplify human capability, not erase it. Every system we design routes more opportunity toward people: skilled chefs, local kitchens, delivery networks, rather than engineering them out of the picture.
Responsible AI
Technology that serves people and communities.
gourmait is built on powerful AI infrastructure. That comes with responsibility. Here is exactly how we think about it, across our product, our business model, and the communities we operate in.
Our AI Principles
Four things we will never compromise on.
i.
Privacy by Design
Your household data (dietary needs, health conditions, brand preferences) is never sold, never shared with advertisers, and never used to train models without explicit consent. Consent controls are built directly into the app, not buried in a terms-of-service page. You own your data. Full stop.
ii.
Transparent AI
Celeste tells you why she recommends what she recommends. No black boxes, no algorithmic manipulation disguised as helpfulness. You can always see the reasoning behind a meal plan, override any decision, and take back control. Transparency isn't a feature we built. It's a constraint we designed around.
iii.
Safety-First Health Logic
Allergen flags and health condition profiles hard-block incompatible meals. Not soft warnings, not suggestions to "check with your doctor." If a meal conflicts with any profile flag in your household, it simply does not appear. Celeste's health logic was designed as a protection system, not a recommendation engine.
iv.
Equitable Access
We priced gourmait deliberately. Even the Essential plan includes the core that matters most: autonomous meal planning and grocery fulfillment for your whole household. Higher tiers add conveniences like voice & chat and the Culinaire by Celeste add-on, but the intelligence that takes the daily food burden off your plate isn't reserved for the few. The planning engine that serves a Household+ family serves every Essential account too.
Economic Impact
We use AI to create jobs, not eliminate them.
The narrative around AI and employment often assumes displacement is inevitable. We reject that. gourmait's Culinaire model is built on the opposite premise: every order we route is a job sustained.
Partner Kitchen Chefs
Licensed culinary professionals executing Celeste's brief: skilled, repeatable work during idle kitchen hours.
Last-Mile Delivery Drivers
Every order creates delivery demand in the local community.
Local Grocery Retail Ecosystem
Demand routed to local and national grocery retailers sustains retail employment and supports independent grocers.
Kitchen Operations Staff
Prep cooks, quality control, and packaging staff at partner kitchens: real culinary employment, not gig work.
For Grocery Shoppers
A healthier relationship with food spending
Celeste's pantry snapshot means you stop buying duplicates. Her precise weekly lists eliminate the "I'll figure it out later" purchases that drive waste, so more of what you buy actually gets eaten.
For Small Food Businesses
Revenue during idle windows
Kitchen partners receive structured, pre-planned order volume during off-peak hours, with no customer acquisition cost, no front-of-house overhead, and no menu development burden. The platform handles everything except the cooking. That's on purpose.
"The right question was never what can this technology do. It was who does it serve. And we built every answer around people."

For Customers
For Kitchen Partners
gourmait is your autonomous kitchen partner. After a quick setup, your automated personal kitchen assistant Celeste plans every meal for everyone in your household, builds your grocery cart at your preferred store, and on the schedule you set places the order for pickup or delivery. When you don't want to cook, she can route your week to a nearby partner kitchen that prepares everything fresh for pickup.
Celeste is your personal chef — the one who runs your household's kitchen so you don't have to. She learns your family's diets, allergies, budget, store preferences, and tastes, then handles the planning and shopping so you don't have to think about it.
Most tools solve one slice of the problem, and usually just dinner. A chatbot can suggest a recipe, but you still have to shop. A meal kit ships a box on its own menu and price. A grocery app delivers a list you already made. gourmait is the only one that owns the whole chain, for every meal: it plans breakfast, lunch, and dinner for your real household, orders the groceries behind them (including pantry staples, supplements, and household essentials) at the store you already use within your budget, and when you don't want to cook, routes your week to a nearby kitchen for fresh pickup. You decide how many servings, how many days, and which days. One loop, from the first question to food in your kitchen, and you simply approve along the way. See the full gourmait difference →
You're always in control. On every plan (Essential, Autopilot, and Household+), Celeste plans your week and builds the cart, and you approve it before any order is placed, with the option to review and edit first. On Autopilot and Household+ you can also manage everything by voice and chat, and every order has a 10-minute cancel window.
Safety is built into the core. Each profile can carry allergies and health conditions, and Celeste's logic hard-blocks any meal that conflicts. These aren't soft warnings. For infants, an unseasoned portion is pulled before seasoning, automatically.
You choose your retailer during setup: Walmart, Kroger, Whole Foods, Target, and 12+ stores you already shop, with pickup or delivery available each week.
Weekly is the default, for maximum flexibility. If you'd prefer fewer, larger trips with better bulk pricing, you can switch to 2-week planning anytime. It's an option, never a requirement.
On the weeks you don't want to cook, Culinaire routes your Celeste-planned meals to a vetted kitchen near your home. They prepare everything fresh, never frozen, and you pick it up on the schedule you set. It's available on Autopilot and Household+, with no commitment: add it only the weeks you want it.
Neither. Meals are prepared fresh by a kitchen close to you, and you pick them up, so they're at their best and you stay in control of the timing.
That's the assumption, and it's the part that surprises people most. A single takeout night for the whole family, once everyone's ordered and the fees and tip are in, often costs about what a full week of fresh, chef-prepared Culinaire meals does. You're not adding a luxury to your budget; you're redirecting what you already spend toward something far better. And because it's on-demand, week by week, you only ever pay for it when you want it.
Pricing will be announced at launch. Waitlist members get early access and locked-in launch pricing. There are three plans (Essential, Autopilot, and Household+), plus the optional, on-demand Culinaire add-on. See plan details →
Soon. We’re heads-down building it now. Join the waitlist to be first in line and hear the moment we go live.
More than just commercial prep kitchens. We partner with small restaurants, ghost and cloud kitchens, and catering businesses. Anyone with a licensed kitchen and capacity during slower hours. We're reimagining who cooks for busy households.
We send you pre-planned, pre-paid meal orders during your idle windows, with no customer acquisition, no menu R&D, no front-of-house overhead. Celeste delivers a complete culinary brief; you prepare and hand off for customer pickup. Partner economics are shared during onboarding.
Founding partners pay no platform fees to start. Kitchen partners operate on a partner membership that's separate from customer subscriptions. We'll walk you through the details during onboarding.
No. Celeste generates the full brief for each order: meals, portions, allergy notes, and prep guidance, based on the customer's plan. You bring the kitchen and the craft; we bring the orders and the instructions.
When a customer adds Culinaire, their grocery order is rerouted to your kitchen, so the ingredients arrive where the cooking happens. You prepare everything fresh for the customer to pick up.
Every brief includes allergen and health flags per household member, and meals are verified against them before prep. Partners are expected to maintain their licensing and food-safety standards; full expectations are in the Kitchen Partner Terms.
Partners are paid on a regular cycle via ACH. Specific rates and timing are confirmed during onboarding and governed by the Kitchen Partner Terms.

The hardest part of cooking for a real household isn’t the cooking. It’s that everyone at the table needs something slightly different, and you’re expected to hold all of it in your head at 6pm. A sheet-pan salmon dinner is the perfect example of how gourmait solves that: one base meal, quietly adapted for every person.
The base meal
Roast salmon fillets with olive oil, lemon, and garlic alongside a tray of vegetables: broccoli, baby potatoes, and red onion. It’s a single sheet pan, about 25 minutes, and it forms the foundation everyone eats from.
One pan. One plan. Four people who each feel like the meal was made for them.
How Celeste adapts it
The adults get the full version, seasoned for flavor, with a heart-healthy portion balance.
The teen with a nut allergy gets a fillet kept entirely clear of the pesto garnish that has pine nuts — flagged and separated automatically.
The eight-month-old gets an unseasoned piece of salmon and soft potato pulled before any salt or garlic touches the pan.
Why it matters
This is the quiet genius of how gourmait plans: you’re not cooking four meals, and you’re not compromising so everyone eats the same bland thing. You cook once. Celeste handles the variations — including the safety-critical ones — so the table just works.
The 20-minute chicken rice bowl your whole household will actually finish.
Celeste’s Kitchen4 min read
✦
Some meals earn a permanent spot in the rotation because they’re fast, flexible, and almost impossible to mess up. The chicken rice bowl is one of them — and it’s a favorite of Celeste’s for a specific reason: it’s built for leftovers.
The idea
Seasoned chicken thighs over rice, with whatever quick vegetables and sauce your household likes — a soy-ginger glaze, a yogurt-tahini drizzle, or just lime and herbs. Twenty minutes, mostly hands-off.
Built for tomorrow, too
Celeste plans the portion so tonight’s dinner quietly becomes tomorrow’s lunch. The same components get repackaged — rice bowl tonight, a wrap or a salad tomorrow — which is how she keeps your grocery spend down and your food waste near zero.
Cook once, eat twice. That’s not a hack — it’s the plan.
Make it yours
Swap chicken for tofu or chickpeas on meatless nights.
Set your spice level per profile — mild for the kids, bold for you.
Let Celeste match the rice and sauce brands you already buy.
Decision fatigue is why dinner feels impossible by 6pm.
The Mental Load5 min read
By the time dinner rolls around, you’re not lazy and you’re not disorganized. You’re depleted. You’ve spent the entire day making decisions — at work, for your kids, for your household — and the research on decision fatigue is clear: the quality and willpower behind our choices erodes the more of them we make.
What that means for dinner
Dinner lands at the exact moment your capacity to decide is at its lowest. So the “what’s for dinner” question — which also smuggles in “what do we have,” “what can everyone eat,” and “do I need to go to the store” — feels genuinely impossible. And the easiest exit is the most expensive one: ordering out, again, on money you didn’t plan to spend.
The goal isn’t more discipline at 6pm. It’s having no decision left to make.
Removing the decision entirely
This is the whole premise of gourmait. Celeste makes the dinner decisions earlier — when you set up your household once — and then keeps making them on autopilot. The plan is done. The groceries are handled. The question that used to drain you simply isn’t there anymore.
What you get back
Less impulse takeout and tighter grocery spend, yes. But the real return is mental space: the end of your day stops being one more shift of logistics, and starts being time you actually spend with the people you’re feeding.
Why our allergen logic blocks meals instead of warning you.
How We Build4 min read
Most apps treat food allergies as a preference — a filter you can toggle, a warning label you can scroll past. When we designed Celeste’s health logic, we made a deliberate decision to do the opposite.
A protection system, not a suggestion engine
If a meal conflicts with an allergy or health flag on any profile in your household, it doesn’t show up with a caution icon. It doesn’t appear at all. The conflict is a hard block, not a soft warning — because a warning assumes you have the attention to read it, and we already know that by dinnertime, you might not.
Safety shouldn’t depend on the most tired person in the house noticing a warning label.
How it works in practice
Each profile carries its own allergies and health conditions, set once during setup.
Celeste checks every planned meal against every profile before it’s ever shown to you.
For infants, an unseasoned portion is pulled before seasoning — built into the plan, not left to memory.
Substitutions are never silent: if something changes, you’re told.
Why we hold this line
Responsible AI isn’t a marketing line for us — it’s a set of constraints we designed around. When the stakes are a child’s allergy, “probably fine” isn’t a standard we’re willing to ship.

Mornings are their own kind of rush, and breakfast is usually the first thing to fall apart. The fix isn’t waking up earlier — it’s having breakfast already done before the morning starts.
Three that hold up
Overnight oats — assembled the night before, grab-and-go, endlessly customizable per person.
Greek yogurt parfaits — layered with fruit and granola, five minutes of prep for several mornings.
Egg cups — baked in a batch on Sunday, reheated in under a minute.

Privacy
Privacy Policy
Last modified: March 17, 2026Gourmai Inc.Controller
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains how Gourmai Inc. ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") processes Personal Data that we collect from you (the "Subscriber") as a Controller.
1. Definitions
Controller means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing Personal Data.
Personal Data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ("data subject"), meaning one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, by reference to an identifier such as a name, identification number, location data, an online identifier, or factors specific to their physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity.
Service(s) means automated and personalized meal planning and grocery fulfillment services.
Subscriber means the natural or legal person who has subscribed to the Service(s) by agreeing to the Terms.
Terms means the binding contract between the Company and Subscriber that governs the Subscriber's access and use of the Service(s).
2. Data Collection
The Subscriber directly provides the Company with most of the data we collect. We collect Personal Data from the following sources:
Information You Provide Directly
Data entered during account setup, such as your name, contact details, delivery address, and payment information. This also includes "User-Input Data" specific to our service, such as dietary preferences, food allergies, health goals, and manual modifications to your meal plans.
Automated Technical Data
When you interact with our platform, we automatically collect data via cookies and similar technologies. This includes your IP address, device type, and "Usage Data" such as the recipes you view, items you remove from your cart, and your interaction with AI-generated suggestions. See our Cookie Policy for details.
Third-Party Partners
We receive information from grocery retailers and fulfillment partners regarding your order status, item availability, and final transaction totals. We may also receive data from social media platforms if you choose to link your account.
Inferred Data
Our AI models generate "Inferred Data" based on your historical interactions. For example, we may infer a preference for certain cuisines or specific shopping frequencies to better automate your fulfillment schedule.
3. Processing of Personal Data
The Company processes the Subscriber's Personal Data to:
Service Personalization: Train and refine our AI algorithms to generate meal plans aligned with your caloric needs, taste preferences, and dietary restrictions.
Grocery Fulfillment: Facilitate the purchase and delivery of items from third-party retailers to your designated address.
Safety & Compliance: Ensure AI-generated recipes strictly adhere to the allergy and health constraints you have provided.
Platform Optimization: Analyze aggregate user behavior to improve predictive accuracy and fix technical bugs.
The Company generally collects Personal Data only where it needs to create or perform a contract with the Subscriber, where processing is in the Company's legitimate interests and not overridden by the Subscriber's data protection interests or fundamental rights, or where the Company has the Subscriber's consent. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect Personal Data.
If the Company processes Personal Data with the Subscriber's consent, the Subscriber may withdraw that consent at any time.
4. Sharing of Personal Data
The Subscriber acknowledges that the Company may share Personal Data with its group companies and third-party service providers to offer the Service(s) and send information or updates about them.
When processing an order, the Company may send the Subscriber's Personal Data to, and use resulting information from, credit reference agencies to prevent fraudulent purchases.
The Company shares Personal Data in the following instances:
Fulfillment Partners: We share your shopping list and delivery address with third-party grocery retailers and delivery services to complete your orders.
Service Providers: We share data with secure infrastructure partners, such as payment processors (to handle billing) and cloud hosting providers (to run our AI models).
Model Training (Anonymized): We may use de-identified or aggregated data to improve our global AI meal-planning engine. This data is stripped of all personally identifiable information before use.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process, or to protect the safety and rights of our users. We may share anonymized input data with third-party AI processors to generate meal suggestions.
Our Commitment
We do not sell your Personal Data. For California residents' rights regarding sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising, see our California Privacy Rights and Do Not Sell or Share pages.
5. Retention of Personal Data
The Company retains Personal Data while an ongoing legitimate business need requires retention. In the absence of such a need, the Company will either delete or aggregate it. If that is not possible, the Company will securely store your Personal Data and isolate it from any further processing until it can be deleted.
6. Security of Personal Data
The Company uses appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the Personal Data it collects and processes, designed to provide a high level of security appropriate to the risk. If you are a Subscriber and have any concerns about the security of your Personal Data, please contact us immediately.
7. Modification
The Company keeps this Policy under regular review and may update this page at any time. This Policy may be amended at any time, and the Subscriber will be notified if there are material changes.
8. Your Choices & Rights

Billing
Subscription & Auto-Renewal Terms
Last updated: May 2026Gourmai Inc.
These Subscription & Auto-Renewal Terms describe how gourmait subscriptions are billed, renewed, and cancelled. They form part of our Terms & Conditions and are presented to comply with the Delaware Automatic Renewal Law, the California Automatic Renewal Law, and similar consumer-protection statutes.
Clear & Conspicuous Summary
gourmait subscriptions automatically renew. Unless you cancel before the end of your current billing period, your subscription will renew for another period and the payment method on file will be charged at the then-current rate. You may cancel at any time, effective at the end of the current period. There are no cancellation fees.
1. Subscription Plans
gourmait is offered in subscription tiers (such as Essential, Autopilot, and Household+). Pricing, included features, and any optional add-ons (such as the Culinaire by Celeste add-on) are presented to you at the point of purchase before you complete your order. Optional add-ons like Culinaire are purchased separately, on demand, and do not auto-renew.
2. Billing Cycle & Renewal
Subscriptions are billed in advance on a recurring basis (monthly or annually, as selected).
Your subscription automatically renews at the end of each billing period unless you cancel beforehand.
At renewal, we charge the payment method on file the then-current price for your plan.
We will provide any advance notice of renewal or price changes required by applicable law.
3. Free Trials & Introductory Offers
If you start with a free trial or introductory offer, the applicable terms (length and post-trial price) are disclosed at sign-up. Unless you cancel before the trial or introductory period ends, your subscription converts to a paid, auto-renewing subscription at the disclosed rate.
4. How to Cancel
You can cancel your subscription at any time:
In-app: through your account or subscription settings.
App store: if you purchased through the Apple App Store or Google Play, manage and cancel through that store's subscription settings.
By contacting us: email contact@gourmait.com and request cancellation.
Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. You retain access to paid features until then. We do not provide prorated refunds for partial periods except where required by law.
5. Price Changes
We may change subscription prices. If a price change affects your renewal, we will notify you in advance as required by law, and the change will take effect at your next renewal. If you do not agree, you may cancel before the renewal date.
6. Refunds
Refunds are handled under the consumer laws of Delaware and, where applicable, the policies of the app store through which you purchased. To request a refund, contact us with full details of your request.
7. Failed Payments
If a renewal payment fails, we may retry the charge and may suspend or downgrade your access until payment succeeds. We will attempt to notify you so you can update your payment method.

Accessibility
Accessibility Statement
Last updated: May 2026WCAG 2.1 Level AA
Gourmai Inc. is committed to ensuring that gourmait is accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. Accessibility is part of our broader belief that good technology should make everyday life more human, for all of our users.
1. Our Commitment
We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, the recognized international standard for digital accessibility. We treat accessibility as an ongoing effort, not a one-time project, and we work to incorporate accessible design into our website and application as they evolve.
2. Measures We Take
Designing with sufficient color contrast and legible typography.
Supporting keyboard navigation and logical focus order.
Providing text alternatives for meaningful non-text content.
Structuring content with clear headings and semantic markup for assistive technologies.
Respecting user preferences such as reduced motion.
Testing with assistive technologies and incorporating accessibility into our development process.
3. Accessibility of Meal & Health Information
Because gourmait handles dietary and health-related information, we take particular care that allergen warnings, safety flags, and meal details are presented clearly and are perceivable through assistive technologies. Safety-critical information is never conveyed by color alone.
4. Known Limitations
Despite our efforts, some content or third-party components may not yet be fully accessible. Where we identify limitations, we work to remediate them and to provide accessible alternatives in the meantime.

Health Data
Health Data Notice
Last updated: May 2026Sensitive Data
To plan safe, personalized meals, gourmait may collect information related to your health, such as food allergies, dietary restrictions, and health goals. This notice explains how we treat that information and supplements our Privacy Policy.
Not a Medical Service
gourmait is not a medical or healthcare provider, and the service does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. AI-generated meal plans and nutritional insights are for general informational and planning purposes only. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional regarding medical conditions, allergies, and dietary needs.
1. What Health-Related Data We Collect
Food allergies and intolerances you enter for each household profile.
Dietary restrictions and preferences (e.g., heart-healthy, diabetic-friendly).
Health goals and any health conditions you choose to provide.
Infant and child portion settings within a household account.
You provide this information voluntarily. You are not required to enter health details, but doing so enables core safety and personalization features.
2. How We Use It
We use health-related data solely to operate and personalize the service, primarily to ensure AI-generated recipes strictly adhere to the allergy and health constraints you provide. Our safety logic is designed to hard-block meals that conflict with a profile's allergen or health flags, rather than issue soft warnings.
3. How We Protect It
We treat health-related data as sensitive and apply technical and organizational safeguards appropriate to its sensitivity.
We limit internal access to authorized personnel and service providers bound by confidentiality obligations.
We do not use your sensitive personal information for advertising, and we do not sell it.
Where we use data to improve our global AI engine, it is de-identified or aggregated and stripped of personally identifiable information first.
4. Your Controls
You can view, edit, or delete the health-related details in your household profiles at any time within the app. California residents may direct us to limit the use of sensitive personal information; see our California Privacy Rights page. Deleting safety-relevant data may affect the accuracy of allergen protections, so please keep profiles current.
5. Consent
By entering health-related information, you consent to our processing of it for the purposes described here. You may withdraw consent at any time by removing the information or contacting us, subject to the effect this may have on safety features.

1. The Service Is Not Directed to Children
gourmait is intended for use by adults aged 18 and older. The service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 in violation of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
2. Information About Children in a Household
As the account holder, you may choose to create household profiles that include children, for example a child's age range, food allergies, or an infant's portion settings. This information is provided by you, the parent or guardian, to enable safe and accurate meal planning for your family. It is associated with your adult account, and the child does not interact with the service directly.
You Are in Control
You decide what household details to enter, and you can view, edit, or delete any child-related information in your profiles at any time. We use this information only to personalize and protect meal planning for your household.
3. No Child-Directed Accounts
We do not permit children to create their own accounts, and we do not market the service to children. If you believe a child has created an account or provided us personal information directly, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
4. Parental Requests
If you are a parent or guardian and wish to review, correct, or delete information associated with a child in your household, contact us using the details below. We will verify your identity as the account holder before acting on the request.

They are entered into between the Partner and Gourmai Inc. ("Company," "gourmait," "we"). By submitting an application or accepting an order, the Partner agrees to these Partner Terms. These Partner Terms are separate from the consumer Terms & Conditions and customer subscriptions.
Founding Partners
Founding partners pay no platform fees to start. Specific economics, payout rates, and any future fees are set out in your onboarding agreement, which forms part of these Partner Terms.
1. Eligibility
To participate, a Partner must operate a lawful food-preparation business, including but not limited to a commercial prep kitchen, restaurant, ghost or cloud kitchen, or catering operation, and must:
Hold and maintain all licenses, permits, and certifications required by applicable local, state, and federal law;
Maintain current food-safety certifications and comply with all health-code requirements;
Carry and maintain adequate general liability and any legally required insurance;
Have the equipment and capacity to fulfill accepted orders to gourmait's quality and timing standards.
2. The Partner Relationship
The Partner is an independent business. Nothing in these Partner Terms creates an employment, agency, partnership, or joint-venture relationship between the Partner and gourmait. The Partner retains control over its own staff, premises, and methods, subject to the quality and safety standards described here and in onboarding.
3. Orders & Culinary Briefs
gourmait routes household meal orders to the Partner through the partner portal, each accompanied by a culinary brief generated by Celeste, including meals, portions, allergen and health flags, and prep guidance.
The Partner may accept or decline orders based on capacity, subject to any acceptance commitments agreed during onboarding.
Ingredients for an order may be routed to the Partner's kitchen via the customer's grocery order; the Partner is responsible for confirming receipt and condition of ingredients.
Meals are prepared fresh and made available for customer pickup on the schedule set with the customer. The Partner must not substitute frozen preparation for fresh without authorization.
4. Food Safety & Allergen Compliance
Food safety is paramount. The Partner must:
Strictly observe every allergen and health flag in each culinary brief, and prevent cross-contamination;
Prepare, label, and package each meal per household member as specified in the brief;
Follow all applicable food-handling, storage, temperature, and hygiene requirements;
Immediately notify gourmait of any food-safety incident, contamination concern, or inability to meet an allergen requirement for an accepted order.
Zero Tolerance on Allergens
Because gourmait's customers rely on allergen accuracy for the safety of their households (including children and infants), any disregard of allergen or health flags is a material breach of these Partner Terms and may result in immediate removal from the program.
5. Quality Standards
The Partner agrees to prepare meals that meet gourmait's reasonable quality, freshness, and presentation standards as communicated during onboarding and updated from time to time. gourmait may collect customer ratings and feedback and may use them to evaluate continued participation.
6. Payments
The Partner is paid for fulfilled orders on a regular cycle, typically via ACH, at the rates and on the schedule set out in the onboarding agreement. gourmait's platform share, where applicable, covers AI, logistics coordination, customer service, and payment processing. The Partner is responsible for its own taxes arising from payments received.
7. Customer Relationship & Non-Solicitation
gourmait owns the customer relationship and is responsible for customer service and the overall experience. The Partner agrees not to solicit gourmait customers introduced through the platform for the Partner's own competing meal-fulfillment service during participation and for a reasonable period afterward, as specified in onboarding.
8. Brand & Intellectual Property
gourmait grants the Partner a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to use gourmait's name and marks solely as needed to participate in the program and as permitted in any co-marketing arrangement. The Partner gains no other rights in gourmait's intellectual property, including the Celeste platform and the culinary briefs, which remain gourmait's property.
9. Confidentiality
Each party will keep the other's non-public business information confidential, including order data, customer information, pricing, and platform details, and will use it only to perform under these Partner Terms. The Partner must protect all customer personal data received and handle it in accordance with gourmait's Privacy Policy and applicable law.

10. Insurance & Indemnification
The Partner will maintain appropriate insurance and agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless gourmait from claims, liabilities, and expenses arising from the Partner's preparation, handling, or packaging of meals, its breach of these Partner Terms, or its violation of any law, including food-safety and allergen requirements.
11. Term & Termination
Either party may terminate participation on written notice as described in onboarding.
gourmait may suspend or immediately terminate a Partner for food-safety violations, allergen non-compliance, repeated quality or reliability failures, loss of required licensing, or breach of these Partner Terms.
Obligations that by their nature survive, including confidentiality, non-solicitation, indemnification, and payment for fulfilled orders, continue after termination.
12. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the program, except that nothing limits the Partner's indemnification obligations or either party's liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of confidentiality.
13. Governing Law & Disputes
These Partner Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. Any dispute will be resolved by arbitration before a single arbitrator appointed by Delaware ADR, LLC, seated in Delaware, with the decision final and binding, except that either party may seek injunctive relief to protect confidential information, intellectual property, or public safety.
14. Changes
gourmait may update these Partner Terms; material changes will be communicated to active Partners. Continued participation after an update constitutes acceptance.
