Our ghost kitchens are ultimately designed for one thing: to help every restaurants grow and become profitable.
Running a restaurant is costly. You have to worry about rent, paying the salaries of front of house staff, renovating an attractive dining space and so much more. With a ghost kitchen, all you need to worry about is an efficient kitchen space built and optimized for fulfilling as many delivery orders as possible. You’ll have less employees to manage and a turnkey kitchen ready for you to use to its fullest potential.
Because of all the expenses associated with opening and running a restaurant business, opening a new location can be overwhelming and sometimes unrealistic for many business owners. Even if you run a successful restaurant, opening a new branch in a premium location can be incredibly difficult. In contrast, ghost kitchens offer you a simpler route for growing your business. Chef Collective will take care of all the permits, construction, space, and optimization, so all you need to do is move in and do what you do best, cook!
Restaurants are optimized for those who want a dine-in experience – and there’s nothing wrong with that. But there has been a huge shift to and growth within the delivery industry that has left a void in the industry. More and more people want food delivered to their door – and the quicker that’s done, the better.
One of the most time-consuming parts of opening a new location is organising the logistics. Working out who will fit out the new kitchen, decorate the dining space, become your new delivery service and more take time and energy out of what matters the most for your business. Worry less about who your suppliers will be and instead just move straight into one of Chef Collective’s ghost kitchens.
With a ghost kitchen, you can run your entire business from a single tablet. Sync orders, manage multiple restaurants, and get valuable business data to streamline your restaurant.
Why have ghost kitchens become so popular?
Ghost kitchens have become popular as a result of changing habits and the recent pandemic. They offer a way for restaurants to cater to more customers in a more efficient manner, as the bottleneck of dine-in seating is effectively removed. They work hand-in-hand with the rise of third-party delivery platforms that help bring your food directly to the customer’s door.
How do you start a ghost kitchen?
Opening a ghost kitchen is far easier than a traditional restaurant space. This is largely because many ghost kitchens are organised by an operator, like Chef Collective, who help with all the complex paperwork like insurance, permits, renovations, and more.
What is pricing like for ghost kitchens?
Pricing for ghost kitchens depends on the size and scale of your operation. In general, expect to pay around 40k AUD opening a ghost kitchen. This is in stark contrast to the upfront costs associated with dine-in traditional restaurant locations.
Why are there so many different names for ghost kitchens?
Ghost kitchens are also known as dark kitchens, cloud kitchens, virtual kitchens, and even some other less common names. The variety comes from the fact that they are a relatively new concept in the F&B industry, but all refer to a similar service.
