Meeting the delivery demand: Is ghost kitchen the answer?

Valued at more than $22 million in 2019, food delivery—one of the fastest growing segments of the restaurant industry—is expected to generate $200 billion in revenue by 2025. As a result, restaurant brands must appropriately scale front and back-of-house operations to prepare for substantially increasing demand.

Is it possible to manage the anticipated influx of online orders and minimize costs without sacrificing quality or efficiency? Some brands believe that “ghost kitchens” are the key.

What is a ghost kitchen?

A ghost kitchen, or cloud kitchen, is a stand-alone commercial kitchen (without a dining room), focused solely on food preparation. Restaurant brands are using these small-footprint hubs to get a competitive edge in the delivery game.
