Questions?We are here to help.
How much do ghost kitchens cost in Denver?
While we can’t speak for every commissary kitchen in the city, our ghost kitchens can cost as little as $30K to get up and running. Of course, exact costs will depend on the required kitchen equipment, location, and local regulatory fees.
With that said, one thing’s for sure: Commercial equipment, cooking and food service in a ghost kitchen is far more affordable for a food entrepreneur than opening a new restaurant, which can easily cost $1 million or more.
How do ghost kitchens work?
Ghost kitchens are “invisible” restaurants that don’t have signage or customer seating. What they do have is an entire kitchen dedicated to food production for delivery. Food licensing is simplified in this type of kitchen network and restaurant equipment is readily available within a shared commercial kitchen space.
Chefs and food entrepreneurs alike use ghost kitchens to serve hungry customers while avoiding the endless expenses of a traditional brick-and-mortar restaurant.
How long does it take to get started in a commissary kitchen in Denver?
When you partner with CloudKitchens, you can find yourself behind a flattop in as few as six weeks. Because we’ve already handled the bulk of the work, like building inspections and licensing, moving into one of our commissary kitchens is a hassle-free experience.
Compare that to the months-long ordeal of opening a traditional restaurant, and it’s no wonder that more cooks and caterers are turning to CloudKitchens.
How does a commissary kitchen help your existing restaurant grow?
Operating a commissary/commercial kitchen in Denver allows a restaurant owner to serve a wider clientele while minimizing overhead via a shared kitchen model. Think of it as a “virtual kitchen” where local food entrepreneurs can scale their operations to residents of the Denver area and beyond!
