Unironically my husband would love working at one. Food service is his preferred trade, but as an introvert if you took out the service part, he'd thrive.

I might be misunderstanding what a ghost kitchen is. Kitchens without a storefront are sometimes good but the "restaurants" that are just brands licensed to establishments, like this one, are almost always the lowest of peddled trash. That said, I'm hoping to order it at some point and make a post on it here.

I've got no problem with those kinds of ghost kitchens, and some of my favorite places to get food from are take-out only too. This looks like one of the Virtual Dining Concepts kitchens where they have like 30 "restaurants" taking up space on delivery apps all having the exact same menu so you're more likely to order from them than a local place

cloud kitchen is a brand that provides ghost kitchen services

If there are multiple "restaurants" operating out of the same location or address, those are ghost kitchens. I've never heard the term cloud kitchen before

A lot of the ghost kitchens I've encountered are three or four different "restaurants" with one guy working. The food is 90% deep fried frozen stuff, and the stuff they do cook tastes bad or is really average quality at best in my experience. If they get enough bad ratings they close that one and start a new one with an identical menu but a new name and uber doesn't care.

Some of them are even real restaurants that had bad ratings so they run a shop with a different menu out of their kitchen. An Indian place near me has 2.4 stars which is the lowest I had ever seen - until they started a pizza shop out of the same kitchen and got down to 1.9.

Maybe some are good, but I've never encountered a good one in my city. There's no accountability, and it leads to lower standards.

I really hate how deceptive they are. There's a company called Virtual Dining Concepts that has like one location in an area, but they sign up as 30 or more different "restaurants" on delivery apps. All having the same menu and their items all have the same ingredients, and there are so many listings to trick you into ordering their food thinking you are trying a new local place called "Slutty Buns" or whatever

Some mixes of a fewOH MY GOD I just got it. Mother fuck bucket.

I don't get it. explain?

🤷

Well that's news to me, never heard of ghost kitchens before!
