Do you often order food for delivery through apps like GrubHub or DoorDash? If you do, there’s a pretty good chance you’ve unwittingly purchased food from a ghost kitchen.
“Ghost kitchens” might sound creepy, but they have nothing to do with the paranormal. A ghost kitchen is simply a “restaurant” that prepares food for delivery only, with no accommodation for sit-down or take-out customers.
Ghost kitchens are a big business and getting bigger. The concept has spawned an entire cottage industry that includes hundreds of thousands of food entrepreneurs along with venture-backed service providers like CloudKitchens, whose all-star co-founding team includes serial entrepreneurs like Sky Dayton.
