Nowadays, the concept of no dine-in or delivery only restaurant outlets is very popular, which is also known as ‘cloud kitchen’ business. In recent times, it has gained quite a momentum because of changing customer preferences who now prefer to dine in their home, rather than troubling themselves with the hassle of going out to dine at their favorite restaurant by going through traffic jams.
It is one of the fastest-growing trends in the evolving market due to its easy-going approach, almost no staff cost involved, and various cost-cutting operational methods. Online food delivery platforms such as foodpanda, swiggy, zomato, etc. have made a huge contribution to this growth by making food available through effortless operations right from the ordering of food to constant updates on delivery to ease of payments via integration with multiple online payment platforms.
The cause for this huge shift in the restaurant industry from on-premise to cloud restaurants is the rise of food delivery platforms in recent years. More and more restaurateurs are opting for cloud restaurants to enjoy the perks of broader customer reach, rising demand for home delivery options, and low costs. Although setting a cloud kitchen costs less, there’re challenges in this business too, as the no. of new entrants coming into this segment is increasing day-by-day. No direct customer interactions and limited brand presence make it difficult for cloud kitchens to retain the customers.
