We are here to help.
What is an industrial kitchen?
An industrial kitchen is a professional kitchen outfitted with industrial-grade equipment built for commercial food preparation and production.
How does an industrial kitchen work?
Industrial kitchens work differently depending upon management style and whether the kitchen’s attached to a dining room. With a CloudKitchens industrial kitchen space, you’ll gain access to a commercial-grade professional kitchen, a dedicated onsite fulfillment team, and proprietary order tracking software. You’ll set up your ghost industrial kitchen in a matter of weeks and then receive and complete orders as they come in.
What is the difference between a ghost kitchen vs. industrial kitchen?
A ghost kitchen is a type of industrial kitchen.
Commercial food vendors work out of industrial kitchens. Some of these kitchens serve an attached dining room, some take delivery and take-out orders, and some do both.
Ghost kitchens cater to an online audience and typically do not have an attached in-person dining room. They’re also sometimes called virtual kitchens or dark kitchens for this reason.
Are industrial kitchens profitable?
The profitability of an industrial kitchen depends on its management and product output. Industrial kitchens can be extremely profitable, especially within the ghost kitchen model.
How much do industrial kitchens cost?
Industrial kitchens can cost upwards of a million dollars to build and outfit. Luckily, you can set up an industrial kitchen with CloudKitchens for as little as $30k.
