FAQ

Questions? 
We’re here to help

What is a ghost kitchen?

Ghost kitchens, also known as dark kitchens or virtual kitchens, are commissary kitchens built for food delivery. They’re located within the delivery radius of a high volume of online customers, rather than high foot traffic areas. With ghost kitchens, there’s no physical storefront or dining area, so you only need a few back-of-house staff members to fulfill online orders.


How does a ghost kitchen work?

In a ghost kitchen, your restaurant is focused on delivery rather than dine-in. When eaters order your food online, you’ll prepare it from your ghost kitchen, and hand it off to a fulfillment team to get the order over to the right delivery driver. This gives restaurateurs a low cost, high efficiency model to get the most out of delivery.


Are ghost kitchens profitable?

Yes, they can be profitable. Ghost kitchens allow restaurateurs to increase profitability by maintaining the essential elements of a restaurant while cutting costs on labor, overhead, and wasted food while reaching a higher volume of customers ordering online. Plus, you can run multiple virtual brands out of a single ghost kitchen to increase revenue without the extra overhead.


Why are ghost kitchens so popular?

Ghost kitchens are rising in popularity because they’re a lower cost alternative to operating a traditional restaurant. They’re also focused on delivery, which has grown 300% faster than dine-in since 2014. That means restaurateurs are using ghost kitchens to future-proof their business and accelerate growth.


How does a ghost kitchen help your restaurant grow?

Ghost kitchens help restaurateurs grow their business by doing delivery right. The way we dine has changed, and ghost kitchens allow restaurant operators to capture food delivery demand without sacrificing their bottom line. They’re also a great way to expand to new markets without spending time and money on a traditional restaurant buildout. You can easily expand your restaurant brand to different cities across the country such as Los Angeles or New York.


How much do ghost kitchens cost?

The cost of ghost kitchens varies by market, space, and services. Compared to a traditional restaurant, they’re a much lower cost alternative on both upfront capital and ongoing operating costs. You can get started in a ghost kitchen with as little as $30K, instead of $1M+ for brick and mortar buildout.


What are the requirements to set up a ghost kitchen in Atlanta?

Setting up ghost kitchens in Atlanta requires efficient kitchen space and a support staff knowledgeable about state regulations, operational logistics, and local appetites. Similar to an Atlanta commissary kitchen, you’ll also need a variety of kitchen equipment, from commercial-grade sinks and hoods to lighter appliances. 

As the capital of Georgia and a major metropolis, Atlanta features a diverse food scene with plenty of opportunities for quick eats, convenient deliveries, and hot culinary trends. Our Atlanta ghost kitchens capitalize on top urban locations to place you in the center of the culture. Set up your ghost kitchen for success with premium locations and non-stop support.


How much does it cost to start a ghost kitchen facility in Atlanta?

Starting a ghost kitchen Atlantans will love requires significantly less capital than the traditional Atlanta restaurant. While a typical brick-and-mortar space can require startup costs of over $1 million, you can build your delivery service in an Atlanta ghost kitchen for as little as $30k upfront with CloudKitchens.
