Commercial & Ghost Kitchen
Construction

A Ghost Kitchen or Commercial Delivery Kitchen is a professional cooking and food preparation facility specifically designed for delivery-only meals. Commonly referred to as Commercial Delivery Kitchens, Shadow Kitchens, Cloud Kitchens, or Virtual Kitchens, Ghost Kitchens have emerged as an economical business model designed to make restaurant ownership more affordable and accessible in direct response to the strong consumer demand for meal deliveries. A Commercial Ghost Kitchen simplifies the ability to own your own restaurant by providing the necessary tools to create your own brand while simultaneously reducing the upfront costs and expenses such as rent, maintenance, and other operational challenges.  

Ghost Kitchens have become a fast-growing industry, especially in Canada, in the last few years due to the rising popularity of food delivery apps such as Uber Eats, Skip the Dishes, Postmates, and Doordash. However, Ghost Kitchens are not strictly for smaller entrepreneurs, many major brands have begun utilizing Ghost Kitchens as an economical and efficient way to enter new markets or expand operations, without the significant overhead that comes with a new restaurant location. 

A Ghost Kitchen typically contains all of the necessary commercial kitchen equipment perfect for a whole host of cuisines including Fridges, Freezers, Ovens, Commercial Kitchen Hoods, Deep Fryers, Storage, Prep Tables and more. Equipment costs are (depending on the size) one of the largest costs when opening your own restaurant. With a Ghost Kitchen that cost is eliminated and typically absorbed into the rent to be more affordable and economical for the average restaurant owner. A Commercial Ghost Kitchen differentiates itself from Ghost Restaurants in that a Ghost Kitchen Facility will house more than one brand under one roof. Most Ghost Kitchens rent space to 10-20 separate brands within one facility, while some larger facilities can house upwards of 30-40 brands.
