The reality of the national and international hospitality industry means that the hospitality business has to rethink its present and future. At the same time that the delivery business seems like an income source for companies, today we are going to tell you how to set up a cloud kitchen in any restaurant.
Let's not forget that there are very well-located establishments that by adapting their infrastructure could pivot and obtain a new food delivery app in addition to the one they now have, which due to the changes in consumption produced by Covid-19 is not working as before.
What is a cloud kitchen? What advantages does it have?
A ghost kitchen, is a kitchen that provides a home catering service, where customers arrive through its digital and online promotion in the food delivery app channels, social networks and the internet.
Think that it is a central kitchen food delivery app, where each of the items are equally important, because they are defined according to the gastronomic proposal designed. It is a full-blown production chain, where the response time when taking out the service is essential.
How to set up a cloud kitchen in my restaurant?
Another great advantage is the opening hours, which again results in staff savings. By being able to analyze in detail the time slots with the highest demand for food delivery, we can optimize the times of opening and staff loading. Let's not forget that opening or closing depends on the public information that we make of our schedule in the food delivery apps and home delivery channels, updateable and modifiable in real time.
But the big bet would be to include other new gastronomic proposals, which using the resources, means and machinery that the restaurant's kitchen already has, can open up the range of customers with new culinary formulas.
