Questions?We are here to help.
How much does it cost to open a Phoenix ghost kitchen?
If you’ve ever looked at opening a food concept, you know that cost can be tricky to nail down. Depending on the size of your space, the equipment you need, and any other special requirements, your exact investment will vary.
All that said, getting started with CloudKitchens can run you as little as $30K.
What is a ghost kitchen?
Also called dark or virtual kitchens, ghost kitchens are facilities that focus solely on food delivery. By removing seating, décor, and other details from the equation, virtual kitchens allow chefs and restaurateurs to ignore the complexities of a dine-in restaurant and concentrate on cooking.
Because ghost kitchens are cost-effective and require minimal startup time, they can be leveraged for several different purposes, including:
- Trying out a new food concept
- Testing an existing concept in a new market (without the usual risk)
- Moving delivery orders away from your main restaurant
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 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).
