Why Business Expansion Through CloudQitchens Is For You!

Ghost kitchens, a hot trend in food delivery, are now also gaining traction in the UK.

Also called ‘dark’, ‘virtual’ or ‘cloud’ kitchens, they are shared cooking spaces that serve as hubs for online deliveries. Different brands prepare their food in the same space, which are then sent out as ordered. The kitchens don’t offer a dine-in option.

The main attraction is that it saves a lot of money – instead of setting up their own restaurant or kitchen, a company can rent a spot in these new big kitchens.

It also gives companies the flexibility to expand their business to new suburbs, without taking the financial risk of setting up a restaurant there.

The first ghost kitchen was set up in the UK in 2017, and Uber’s founder Travis Kalanick has raised more than $400m to fund CloudKitchens, which plans ghost kitchens in the US, India and China. Google has also invested millions in its venture Kitchen United.

The phenomenon has now also arrived in Scotland. New start-up CloudQitchens has established a delivery-only establishment – 8000ft2 facility in East Kilbride, Glasgow – that only produces food for delivery.
