Capitalize On The Delivery Boom?

The major difference is that virtual kitchens typically piggyback off of brick-and-mortar restaurants that are already in existence.
Thus, naturally, virtual restaurants still require full front-of-house staff, kitchen staff, and an ideal physical location to pick up walk-in traffic.
Third-party food delivery apps have exploded in popularity recently, and they provide a quick and easy way to reach delivery customers in your area through industry format.
But there are a few downsides to using those platforms—namely, the cost.
A lot of them charge hefty fees, plus commissions on orders, but ghost kitchen operators view that as a required expense for getting before guests and not coping with the logistics/liability of managing their very own drivers.
