Frequently Asked Questions

  • Cloud Kitchen is a commercial kitchen which is primarily selling on online food platforms like Swiggy, Zomato, Amazon and through its own website channels. Significant part of the business is from online sales with limited take-away and deliveries. There is no customer seating and dine-in in such establishments.

    Since there are no dine-in customers, multiple brands can be run from the same kitchen, increasing the overall orders you receive while also improving the efficiency of operations.

  • Cloud Kitchens enjoy significant advantages over a regular restaurant

        Lower rentals since the location need not be on high street. Customers find you through the online ordering platforms and for this your kitchen does not have to be in expensive rental zones.
        Minimal investment overall and specifically on interiors and customer seating as compared to a dine-in restaurant
        Very low costs of changing locations in case business does not pick up
        Ability to run multiple brands from the same kitchen, leading to increased operational efficiencies
