Questions? We're here to help.
What do I need to know to create a successful online menu?
The short answer? A lot. Some of the topics you should be well versed in while creating a delivery menu are popular cuisine types, descriptive menu copywriting, how to pare down and structure menu offerings, marketing and audience targeting, and of course, pricing.
It’s more than we can cover in a single FAQ answer, but luckily, we wrote the book on it. Specifically, an e-book—“How to build a successful online menu”—which you can download for free on this page.
Which app is best for a delivery kitchen?
Each delivery app offers different benefits and restrictions, and their usefulness depends entirely on the unique orientation of your business.
Fortunately, when you work with CloudKitchens, you can have your pick of the bunch—our unique delivery fulfillment tech and services make it easy for our clients to juggle multiple delivery apps with ease.
Do I need to have a brick-and-mortar location to run an online restaurant?
One of the chief benefits of running a delivery-only ghost kitchen is that you do not need to open and maintain a brick-and-mortar dining room.
Operating a delivery-only restaurant out of a CloudKitchens ghost kitchen means that you can cater directly to an online audience, enjoy fulfillment and maintenance support from our staff, and even operate multiple brands out of one, private, perfectly-sized kitchen space.
