'Don't Count Your Chickens?' This $5 Billion Food Startup Counts Them Daily While Pushing AI To Predict Your Meals

Marc Lore, the billionaire entrepreneur who's always one step ahead of the game, is serving up something extraordinary – and it's not just dinner. 

His latest brainchild, Wonder, is turning the food delivery world upside down with artificial intelligence that decides your meals for you. Fresh off acquiring Grubhub for $650 million, Lore's $5 billion company is rewriting the recipe for how we eat. 

"I've already started experimenting to see what relying on an algorithm to select meals is like," Lore shared with NYNext. "Basically, I don't know what I'm going to eat until I sit down. It's dead on."

Wonder's app is already a foodie's dream, delivering dishes from over 20 top-tier restaurants, including Michelin-starred Chai Pani and the culinary creations of Bobby Flay and José Andrés. But Lore isn't stopping there. He's dreaming of a future where AI knows your cravings better than you do. 

"Imagine an AI that factors in your budget, dietary preferences and even how meals affect your sleep and blood sugar," he said. And he's not just talking about guessing your favorite pizza toppings – he's betting on wearable tech to take things to the next level. 

These gadgets would analyze how your body reacts to food in real time, alerting you if something's messing with your system. "The idea is to tell you, ‘Hey, this food isn't working for your body,' before you even feel it," Lore explained.

This high-tech approach couldn't come at a better time. Personalized nutrition is booming, with Globe News Wire projecting the market to hit $16.6 billion by 2027. 

Lore isn't just dreaming big – he's scaling fast. Wonder plans to expand from 19 to 90 locations across major Northeast cities like New York, Boston and Washington, D.C., in 2025. 

He envisions Wonder becoming a nationwide household name by 2030. A recent partnership with Walmart, which brought Wonder's offerings to a Pennsylvania store, hints at how massive this could become.

And while most food delivery companies struggle to eke out profit margins, several Wonder locations already see double-digit returns. Lore chalks this up to offering experiences you can't get anywhere else. "People will pay a premium for something unique, like a Bobby Flay steak," he said. 

For Lore, it all comes down to one thing: bold ideas paired with action. "A lot of people are afraid to share their visions because it feels risky," he said. "But it's important to create that vision, mold it like clay and work backward to make it happen." 

As Wonder keeps growing, Lore remains unfazed by the hurdles ahead. "You know the saying, ‘Don't count your chickens before they hatch'? I count them every day."
