Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I know if a central kitchen is right for my business?
Central kitchens are perfect for any restaurant business that feels they have room to improve in terms of kitchen efficiency. Not only do they provide the opportunity to streamline your processes, but they also have much lower cost risks associated with them when compared to traditional restaurants.
Central kitchens help support other F&B outlets by producing and preparing food in bulk before distributing it to establishments that require their services. In addition to this, they are perfect for any restaurant business that feels they have room to improve in terms of kitchen efficiency. Not only do they provide the opportunity to streamline your processes, but they also have much lower cost risks associated with them when compared to traditional restaurants.
What makes central kitchens more affordable than traditional kitchen spaces?
A central kitchen has no need to be in prime real estate areas with high foot traffic. They can be situated a bit further out where rent is cheaper. In addition to this, your operator will help cover costs and difficulties associated with permits, licensing, and more without locking you into a long-term contract.
