All of the food is prepared in ghost kitchens.<\/p>\n

So what is a ghost kitchen?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ghost kitchens are established\u00a0restaurants and commercial kitchens with no\u00a0dine-in\u00a0space for\u00a0guests. They\u00a0operate\u00a0on a take-out or delivery-only basis with no\u00a0storefront. Ghost kitchens can be run by totally different companies than the one where their food is prepared. Some ghost kitchens operate out of a shared kitchen space with other delivery-only brands, while others operate out of a traditional restaurant space (usually under a different name) to offer delivery-only services under another brand. This allows these restaurant kitchens to leverage their existing equipment and staff to serve both dine-in and take-out guests and meet additional customer demand without adding overhead.<\/p>\n
