Food delivery apps are reshaping the restaurant industry. “Ghost kitchens” and “virtual restaurants” riding high exclusively through delivery services. Do you know what they are?
Ghost kitchens: think of it as a co-working space for food or a restaurant without a storefront. Removing dining areas and fancy décor, they serve as large kitchens for restaurants to prepare food to deliver to customers.
Virtual restaurants/Ghost restaurants: online-only restaurants that serve customers exclusively through delivery. In other words, it does not have dine-in or pickup options.
Modern customers want personalization and convenience. They crave experiences over products, which is exactly what “ghost kitchens” and “virtual restaurants” can provide.
