❓ “Will people want healthy donuts?”
✅ Absolutely—especially late-night, post-gym, or for families. Low-GI, GF, and vegan options are underserved but in high demand.
❓ “Is it sanitary?”
✅ Sealed bake kits + zero human touch + UV-C cleaning = cleaner than most cafés.
❓ “Won’t people just go to a donut shop?”
✅ Not when it’s 9 PM, raining, or you’re in your pajamas. This is for now, not later.
