1. A raw food dispensing unit assembly for use in a kitchen environment or with a kitchen in a box (KIAB) comprising:
a ramp sloping downward towards a target surface,
a hopper for holding the raw food, arranged above the ramp and operable to dispense the raw food onto the ramp,
a vibrating motor in contact with the ramp for moving the raw food on the ramp towards the target surface, and
at least one sensor coupled to the ramp to measure a value of raw food on the ramp, wherein the sensor and ramp are arranged such that the ramp extends horizontally from the sensor, terminating in a distal free end, and the sensor measures the value of raw food on the ramp and independent of the weight of the hopper and the raw food contained within the hopper.
