bills itself as “groceries on autopilot” Jow is recipe-led shopping, as is Side Chef while Cooklist is a meal-planner + cooking support, also in the U.S.įoster-Carter told me: “It’s a marketplace so we could partner with traditional supermarkets (Sainbury’s, Tescos, Waitrose etc) + online retailers (Ocado, Amazon), direct to farm / organic (Riverford, Farmdrop), mission-led single component (Oddbox, Milk & More, etc) recipe boxes (Gousto, Hello Fresh, Mindful Chef etc) and rapid delivery (Gorillas, Getir, Weezy, etc). In particular, the site is likely to appeal to people looking to lose weight, as meal planning would be simpler and may even have an impact on recipe-box startups.

and abroad plus ‘super angels’ Charles Songhurst and Ed Lando.
Lollipop claims 80% of households spend over an hour a week meal-planning and online grocery shopping.Īlthough Foster-Carter is coy about how much he has raised for this approach, he says he has raised a pre-seed round backed by JamJar Investments, Speedinvest, and a “raft of grocery/technology big hitters” including Ian Marsh (former UK GM of HelloFresh) and former leadership and founders of online grocers in the U.K. (We will briefly note the fact that a man had to create a site like this after doing the weekly shop…). The first 10K beta testers to sign up to the waitlist will be offered access to premium features “for life,” says the startup, which will offer prices at the same rate as normal supermarkets.įoster-Carter, who had the idea after having a baby and realizing he was spending hours trying to use a normal supermarket, says the approach will save several hours a week for the average household.

The site will be free to use, while a premium tier is planned. The business model will be taking a small commission from retail partners, allowing selected advertising, e.g. Built as a marketplace, it will be partnering with Sainsbury’s and BBC Good Food with more partners, and fulfillment will be completed by retail partners. He says the Lollipop could well help with health goals, improve culinary skills and minimize food waste.
#LOLLIPOP CHAI SERIAL#
Lollipop AI, the new British online grocery marketplace, is launching its public beta today to do that, and it’s been created by a serial UK entrepreneur who was there at the start of successful UK startups Osper, Monzo and Curve.įounder and CEO Tom Foster-Carter has envisaged a platform allowing people to build meal plans from recipes, assembling the ingredients automatically into their shopping baskets, and suggesting remaining household essentials. "We, the original development staff on Lollipop Chainsaw, think of the game as very precious to us, and did not want to leave it in limbo, where players who want to play it cannot.As I’ve taken to online grocery shopping over the pandemic, I’ve always wondered why supermarkets didn’t offer simple ‘recipe’ features that would have automatically collected items for a homemade meal. "Unfortunately, various factors resulted in things making it so that fans can no longer easily play Lollipop Chainsaw, and it has been some time since players have not been able to access the game on current consoles," Yasuda wrote in a statement on Twitter.
Yasuda said the new version will take advantage of current-gen console hardware to deliver "a more realistic approach to the graphics." It will have new music as well, due to licensing issues.ĭragami acquired the intellectual property of Lollipop Chainsaw and other titles from original publisher Kadokawa Games (Dragami recently split off from the latter). As IGN notes, some aspects will be different in the remake. The development team includes some other folks who previously worked on Lollipop Chainsaw. A serious game this is not.ĭragami Games is led by Yasuda. Juliet is accompanied on her quest by the disembodied head of her boyfriend. She can also collect lollipops to restore her health. Surprisingly enough, Juliet wields a chainsaw that she can use in various ways (including ranged attacks). Lollipop Chainsaw focuses on Juliet Starling, a cheerleader who battles zombies in a California high school. It's a hack-and-slash title from the minds of producer Yoshimi Yasuda, creative director Goichi "Suda51" Suda (of No More Heroes fame) and Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn, who was a writer on the game.
Publisher Dragami Games has announced a remake of Lollipop Chainsaw, which will arrive next year.
