FAQ :
A cloud kitchen, also referred to as a ghost kitchen or dark kitchen, is a restaurant format that operates exclusively for delivery, with no dine-in facilities. Orders are typically taken online or via telephone, often through food aggregators.
Cloud kitchens are gaining prominence due to their low investment and risk profile, coupled with high profit potential. They allow businesses to scale easily and experiment with different food concepts without the overheads of a traditional restaurant.
Essential licenses include FSSAI registration, GST registration, a Trade License from the local municipal office, and potentially a Fire and Safety License. Trademark registration is also recommended to protect the brand.
Unlike traditional restaurants, cloud kitchens don't require prime locations. They can be set up in smaller spaces (around 250-300 sq ft) in accessible areas with high customer demand, such as residential neighbourhoods or market backstreets. Shared kitchen spaces are also an option.
Packaging is crucial as it directly impacts the customer experience. High-quality, appropriate packaging ensures that food arrives in good condition and helps maintain the company's reputation, especially since customers cannot see the preparation environment.
The global online food delivery market is projected to grow significantly, from an estimated $35 billion to $365 billion by 2030.
