The Portland food scene

Spaghetti - ghost kitchen

Local restaurants used to be the only major outlet for talented chefs—not anymore. In Portland, ghost kitchens are an innovative option for today’s food delivery market. For less money, time, and stress, you can open a fully operational kitchen and serve menu items across the city via all their favorite delivery apps like Uber Eats and Postmates. 

Opening an independent restaurant typically costs a pretty penny and months of your time. But in a Portland ghost kitchen, you can start cooking with as little as $30K starting capital, in a matter of weeks instead of months. We make setup for a kitchen space as easy as possible, so restaurant owners can start seeing returns faster. 

You don’t have to wait for customers to walk through your doors anymore. We place each Portland commercial kitchen in a central location with high delivery volume, so you can send your menu items to more dinner tables. And with on-site support staff and order fulfillment, every delivery is sure to please its recipient.

CloudKitchens simplifies the food delivery business by including basic services like cleaning, maintenance, and utilities in your monthly payments. That means you don’t have to stress over budgeting, emergency expenses, and hiring contractors—the logistics are almost entirely taken care of for you. 

And to streamline delivery logistics, we provide each of our Portland kitchens with our proprietary technology. Our app integrates all online orders into a single platform, so you can easily manage every meal and update your menu as needed. You’ll also receive personalized data reports that help shape your business for peak success.

Leave behind your crowded sit-down restaurant or commissary kitchen. Portland cooks deserve a kitchen that supports their business, not hinders it. Explore our local kitchens today, and start your own ghost restaurant tomorrow.
