WHAT IS
CLOUD KITCHEN?

CLOUD KITCHEN

A cloud kitchen, also known as a virtual kitchen, ghost kitchen, or dark kitchen, is a type of restaurant that operates solely through online ordering and delivery. Unlike traditional restaurants, cloud kitchens do not have a physical dining area for customers to eat in. Instead, they use a central kitchen facility to prepare and cook food, and then deliver it to customers through third-party delivery services such as Uber Eats or Door Dash.

Cloud kitchens are becoming increasingly popular because they allow restaurant owners to save on rent and other overhead costs associated with a physical location, while still reaching a wide customer base through online ordering and delivery. They also provide flexibility in terms of menu offerings, as restaurants can experiment with new dishes and adjust their offerings based on customer demand without the constraints of a traditional brick-and-mortar establishment.

There are several statistics that indicate the promising future of cloud kitchens. Here are a few key ones:

1. Market Growth:

The global cloud kitchen market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.8% from 2020 to 2027, reaching a market size of $71.4 billion by 2027. (Source: Fortune Business Insights)

2. Increased Online Food Delivery:

The global online food delivery market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.2% from 2021 to 2028, reaching a market size of $205.16 billion by 2028. (Source: Grand View Research)

3. Consumer Preferences:

60% of consumers are ordering food delivery more frequently than before the pandemic, and 48% of consumers say they plan to continue using food delivery services even after the pandemic ends. (Source: Acosta)

4. Investor Interest:

Cloud kitchens have attracted significant investment from venture capitalists and other investors in recent years. In 2019, cloud kitchen companies raised over $1 billion in funding globally. (Source: CB Insights)

5. Restaurant Adoption:

In a survey of U.S. restaurant owners conducted by Toast, 65% of respondents said they were considering opening a ghost kitchen or virtual restaurant in the next year. (Source: Toast)

These statistics indicate that the future of cloud kitchens is promising, with continued growth in both the market and consumer demand. As more restaurants and food entrepreneurs turn to cloud kitchens as a way to expand their reach and reduce costs, we can expect to see continued innovation and evolution in the industry.
