Academic research for new style of restaurant

Hello everyone,

My name's Harrison and I'm a college student. I'm currently doing academic research on the development of a new style of restaurant where the customer can request any food they like with 24 hours notice. If you have any sort of random craving (within reason) you would be able to send it to the restaurant. They then calculate the cost, run that by you, and at least 24 hours later you would be able to sit down and enjoy your customized meal.

Does this sound at all appealing to you or anyone you know? In addition, the most popular custom food items would be featured on a weekly fixed price menu. This menu would be totally metric based which is pretty cool. Basically, were trying to rethink the restaurant based more on immediate consumer demand as well as consumer access to their own recipes. If you give the restaurant a recipe that becomes popular you get free meals as a reward.

All the logistics of this sort of business would be very complicated to pull off. This project is totally hypothetical and purely academically motivated; however, I would very much like to hear if you feel you would pay around $20-30 to get a personal meal in a restaurant setting. If no, would you if money was no object? 

This is a project for a culinary entrepreurship class at my university in Nashville, TN and I could really use y'all's help. The teacher recommended we reach out to forums like this one in our research for extra credit. 

Have an awesome day and thank you so much for reading!
