Questions?We are here to help.
What do I need to open a restaurant in Miami?
Opening a dine-in restaurant in Miami takes a great deal of pre-planning, coordination, and (of course) money. Along with the $500K–$1M usually required to get a new restaurant up and running, you’ll also need:
- A correctly-zoned facility
- A permit for construction
- A passing grade on food safety and fire inspections
- A liquor license (if desired)
And that’s only the tip of the iceberg. While it’s possible to assemble everything you need to open your Miami restaurant, it’s a costly process that typically takes months.
If jumping through hoops to start cooking doesn’t appeal to you, a partnership with CloudKitchens is the solution. We’ve already dealt with the requirements and the red tape, so you won’t have to wait months for a professional kitchen—we’ll have you dishing out meals in weeks.
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.
How much does it cost to start a ghost kitchen in Miami?
Compared to opening a full-scale restaurant, starting a ghost kitchen is a downright deal. For as little as $30K, you can secure the space you need to make delectable dishes, an on-site team to clean and maintain your equipment, and software to deliver your food all over Miami.
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 does a commercial kitchen help your existing restaurant grow?
Operating a commercial kitchen concept and business model allows restaurant owners to serve a wider clientele while minimizing overhead. Commercial kitchens also give you the flexibility to try out new menus or even new restaurants, all within one commercial kitchen space.
How much do commercial kitchens cost?
The cost of opening and operating a commercial kitchen will vary. When you work with CloudKitchens, you can get your ghost kitchen up and running with an investment as low as $30k (compared to the average $1 million for a brick-and-mortar, traditional restaurant).
