👀 ABOUT THIS VIDEO
The ghost kitchen/virtual kitchen/dark kitchen or whatever you want to call it...delivery only restaurants are BOOMING. They were before COVID and they are going wild now.
Restaurant Dive forecasts that the Cloud Kitchen global market will hit $1 Trillion by 2030. That's MASSIVE. And when you consider how all the major food delivery apps are consolidating recently...like Just Eats buying Grubhub and Uber Eats buying Postmates...things are about to get even wilder.
And the thing is...it's no secret that cloud kitchens are a big part of the future of the restaurant industry. Major brands have now jumped in on the model like Applebee, Chick-fil-a, Wendy's and more. They get that the consumer behaviour is moving towards that realm and the benefits of a ghost kitchen is super attractive to them.
And it is the very reason why so many people are flooding my inbox with questions about how to start a cloud kitchen or whether XYZ concept would work as a ghost kitchen.
So if you're a food entrepreneur, someone looking to learn how to start a ghost kitchen, an aspiring restaurant owner or part of restaurant management, then keep on watching as I go through all the components you need to be aware of when starting your own cloud kitchen in just 20 minutes.

Things ARE changing, been following the trend for nearly a decade now. Unfortunately digital heads have to become humble and find a way to market back to the people without stealing from them. This generation will find new ways since social media influence seemed to have halted. With that being said my head is buzzing on how the ghost kitchens market as succeed.

@WilsonKLee 3 жыл бұрын

Licenses differ each country and city. You need to look into what are required in your geographic location since what is required in Vancouver (where I am) is probably totally different from what you need. Plus some countries are also less restrictive - for instance in some countries, you can start a cloud kitchen from you home kitchen.

Brother you mentioned a point where you said do not have more than 10 items. However, what if i am recruiting already established restaurants shouldn't they offer their actual menu? isn't the idea of cloud kitchen to make existing restaurants go for delivery service? What I mean is that I will not be creating a menu, for example I am offering KFC to open in my cloud kitchen (I know KFC is too big its just an example). A reply would be much appreciated as I could use some information.

I used to manage a ghost kitchen in Santa Monica. I am opening my own next week in Oregon and just found out from Uber Eats Merchant Center, that they are NO LONGER accepting GHOST KITCHENS!!! This sucks! They are only allowing restaurants to offering additional virtual concepts that already have a storefront for walk in customers on the platform. For complete ghost kitchens operating out of warehouse commissary kitchens we are SOL!! I have Doordash, grubhub etc but without Ubereats/Postmates, we need more ideas of where to market our services.

@richardmason1473 Жыл бұрын

How about going door to door to local businesses in your area? The owners and employees of those businesses live in homes in that area and they eat. An in person visit with a smiling face and a menu (and maybe a "first time discount" coupon...?) might work..

Permits and licenses are different for each state/country - just like how it is different if you were starting a food truck or restaurant - so I highly recommend you ask your local small business association & health department for the most localized details on those. And then make sure the cloud kitchen space you are looking at has the relevant ones.
