KitchenAttendant was an idea that began in 2002 by David Vaccaro.

Mr. Vaccaro was looking for a "Google-esk" way to search his groceries to see if he had ingredients for recipes. This came about when he was looking through a cook book for the perfect recipe. Once he finally found a recipe, he realized that he did NOT have the ingredients to make it. After 4 or 5 failed recipe attempts, the idea began.

In 2004 the first KitchenAttendant Console was designed. It was a 15" touch screen computer that required the user to scan in (via the connected barcode scanner) every item brought into the kitchen. You would also scan items you used to let KitchenAttendant know it's no longer in stock. This is when the idea of adding items to a family shared grocery list.

KitchenAttendant started creating a buzz in the grocery industry in 2008. With articles being posted by companies such as CNET (link to article) and many others lead to investors showing interest in this cutting edge technology but Vaccaro decided to wait until the product could be used as intended, The ALL inclusive Smart Kitchen Device. The vision remained. Keep the product simple to use but also have all the features and functionality. This could not happen because grocery stores simply did NOT have the technology to integrate with Vaccaro's vision.

2019: It's Finally Here!!!

The grocery stores, FDA recall systems, Manufacturer couponing systems, etc. finally have the technology needed to make the KitchenAttendant work how Vaccaro intended.

In early 2019 KitchenAttendant, Inc. was formed (https://icis.corp.delaware.gov/Ecorp/EntitySearch/NameSearch.aspx File# 7297395) and shortly thereafter (4/12/2019) KitchenAttendant, Inc. announce that they are taking deposits for the first release of the KitchenAttendant Console.
