What is a Dark Kitchen?
Ghost restaurants can reduce rental costs because the location of their kitchen does not have to be in the city center for customer accessibility. However, the location must be accessible to couriers from delivery platforms in order for the meal to be picked up after which it can be taken to the customer. This type of restaurant also has significantly lower overhead costs. Because people cannot eat in the restaurant, there is no need for venue staff, restaurant furniture, insurance and other ancillary costs.[2] The restaurant does not need to be visible to customers, passage and accessibility are not elements that play a role in the search for a property. The kitchen can be located in an inexpensive location on the outskirts of town.
