CloudKitchens can help you say goodbye to the traditional restaurant and commercial kitchen challenges. With a Miami dark kitchen, you can skip the seriously daunting overhead and startup costs by stepping into a ready-to-cook virtual kitchen, designed to put online ordering and delivery first. By trimming the extraneous expenses of a dine-in establishment in the restaurant industry, it's easy for you to give your customers what they want and turn a profit while doing it. All you need as a restaurant operator and a ghost kitchen in Miami to handle each food delivery order in your virtual kitchen space.
Opening a local restaurant usually takes at least a year for food entrepreneurs, but not with CloudKitchens. With a ghost kitchen, Miami restaurant owners can start cooking and start offering food delivery in as little as four weeks. No need to scout or finance a property in the restaurant industry when there's already one ready for you-just leave the brick, mortar, and everything in between to us!
Rather than paying big bucks in property costs, CloudKitchens places you in a prime third-party delivery service location for a fraction of the price. We pinpoint neighborhoods with delivery app traffic over foot traffic. With CloudKitchens, Miami restaurant owners will reach more customers than ever.
With a ghost restaurant, you can minimize risks and maximize your profit margins. No more maintenance bills, front-of-house wages, cleaning costs, or property taxes, and no more wasted space where customers once sat. Just making food and making money. Pretty simple, right?
In the digital age, it's easier than ever to reach new customers, but you'll need the right technology to do it. That's why every ghost kitchen is equipped with an all-in-one virtual restaurant tablet system that integrates all the delivery apps and streamlines the entire operation of your ghost kitchen in Miami.
Your Miami ghost kitchen is waiting for you - all you need to do is get started. Don't wait any longer, your customers are hungry!
Questions?
We're here to help
What is a ghost kitchen?
Ghost kitchens, also known as dark kitchens or virtual kitchens, are commercial kitchens built for 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. Ghost kitchens allow restaurateurs to increase profitability by 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 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.
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.
