Grow Your Own Food Delivery Empire With Shared Kitchens

There’s a growing trend in the global F&B industry. Many of the more successful and savvy restaurant chains are growing at a surprisingly fast rate - and it’s because they’ve discovered a new way of running their kitchens. Delivery focussed kitchen spaces are helping restaurant businesses streamline just about every operation involved in their kitchen.
Whether it be the size of your team, the number of orders you can fulfill, or how your space is utilized, shared kitchen spaces take efficiency to a whole new level.
As the kitchen equivalent of the sharing economy, these shared kitchens - otherwise referred to as cloud, virtual, ghost & dark kitchens - offer the restaurant industry a chance to widen historically slim profit margins and operate a more efficient kitchen model. One of the biggest reasons behind this is the ability to cook for more than one brand within the same space.

What are shared kitchens?
A shared kitchen is when several restaurant brands use a single kitchen space. They may choose to share suppliers, equipment, and more to make their kitchen processes more streamlined and optimised.

How many brands can I operate out of a single shared kitchen?
There is no hard limit on how many brands you can operate out of a single Chef Collective kitchen space. However, we would say there is a sweet spot whereby different brands can share the same equipment and suppliers, without unnecessary complexity that may arise from a huge number of brands and food types.

Can different brands share the same kitchen equipment?
Absolutely. This is one of the key selling points of a shared kitchen space and has helped countless food delivery businesses find success in recent years. While this can definitely help increase your kitchen efficiency, note that certain cuisines may have dietary requirements that sharing equipment could complicate.
