SETTING UP A GHOST RESTAURANT KITCHEN

Setting up your kitchen space will be your top priority in cloud restaurants and where you allocate most of your funds. Because you don’t have to allow square footage for a dining area, you have much more room to customize your kitchen space. Depending on your budget, you can opt for specialized cooking equipment that you probably never had room for in a traditional restaurant.

Using One Kitchen for Several Concepts

You can own multiple ghost restaurants and operate them out of the same kitchen. Especially if your menus have in-gredient overlap, you can prepare food for two separate concepts in one efficient space.

Renting a Kitchen

If owning or leasing a customizable space isn’t in your budget, you can work in a commissary kitchen. A commissary kitchen is a complete kitchen space that is available for rent. Although some commissaries are shared, it is usually best for ghost restaurateurs to rent private commissaries. While other commissary users, like caterers and food truck operators, need the kitchen space for prep time, you’ll need it for the same hours that you’d need a traditional restaurant kitchen. As a result, working out a schedule with other users could be challenging.
