Questions?We are here to help.
How much does it cost to open a ghost kitchen in Boise?
Cooking in a ghost kitchen is relatively inexpensive. Getting started in a Boise-based CloudKitchen can cost as little as $30K. When you consider that the average brick-and-mortar restaurant costs $500K to $1 million to open, that’s a terrific deal.
What is a ghost kitchen?
A ghost kitchen is a professional kitchen that’s built to serve a delivery-only customer base. Ghost kitchens do not have attached dining rooms for in-person dining, public-facing signage, or storefront space. In fact, you’ve probably walked by some before without even realizing it. For this reason, they’re sometimes also referred to as “dark kitchens.”
CloudKitchens ghost kitchens take the pain out of opening a delivery-only business, with dedicated facilities, onsite staff to help with fulfillment and maintenance, and proprietary technology that streamlines the whole process.
What do I need to get started?
Investment-wise, you can get started with CloudKitchens for around 30k. You and your staff (usually 4-6 people) will be able to keep costs low as you focus on creating your menu and brand identity.
Are commercial kitchens profitable?
Thanks to their comparatively low overhead, commercial kitchens have the potential to turn an incredible profit. A commercial kitchen’s profitability depends on several factors, like the location, branding, and operating systems at play.
How soon can I start cooking in a Boise commercial kitchen?
By teaming up with CloudKitchens, you can get into a professional commercial kitchen in Boise in just six weeks. From there, you can immediately start prepping, cooking, and sending out food to thousands of hungry locals.
