Opening a Multi-branded Ghost Kitchen Project

Description

  • Portland State University

Ghost kitchens, cloud kitchens, or virtual kitchens or any type of food establishment that primarily exist for delivery have gained a great amount of traction and national prominence both before and especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is expected that this will continue even after the global health pandemic, with additional capabilities and technologies becoming available to assist such operations. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the restaurant industry struggled to stay afloat as dining inside was restricted. With these ghost kitchens becoming a disruptor in the restaurant and food service industry, this project aims to assess the various processes and/or steps required that are associated with implementing a ghost kitchen facility to house these various restaurant brands.
