A cloud kitchen, also known as a ghost kitchen or virtual kitchen, is a concept that refers to a professional food preparation facility without a brick-and-mortar restaurant space for dine-in customers. Instead, it focuses solely on fulfilling online food delivery orders. Cloud kitchens typically operate in delivery-only mode, where orders are received through online platforms or mobile apps and prepared by a team of cooks in a central kitchen. These kitchens do not have a physical storefront or dining area for customers, and their business model relies heavily on partnering with third-party delivery services. The concept of cloud kitchens has gained popularity in recent years due to the increasing demand for food delivery services and the reduction in overhead costs associated with traditional restaurants.
