- Setting up a cloud kitchen is much simpler than setting up a physical restaurant.
- We can put you in touch with possible vacant spaces.
Getting Started
If you know where you’d like to operate from then we’ll start approaching those operators who host in those areas.
If you don’t yet know where you’d like to be then there’s multiple considerations you’ll need to consider – some top ones are
- Population reach
- Demographic
- Competition in the area
- Delivery platform coverage
Our Cloud Kitchen Network
We have a network of businesses who manage a large number of commercial kitchens.We also have an ever expanding knowledge of regional kitchen spaces.
Once you have located your ideal kitchen then you’ll negotiate a deal that suits your business needs whether this is your first entry to the market or you’re an experienced operator.
Strong Foundations
If you’re starting your first kitchen then marketing plans are going to be vital. You are going to have to create the demand. This cannot be overlooked – Deliveroo added 11,000 new businesses to their platform between March and October 2020 alone!
Get set up on the delivery platforms – this is going to take 2-3 weeks if not longer. Again there’s a huge rise in demand to the platforms to be listed so start this process early.
Plan for your launch to include testing, a PR and marketing plan.
