Cloud Kitchens are take-away counters which will serve customers online and pickup options. They will not have any dine-in area so that its focus will be only on take away. It will be a central place which will have a single license for food production and few outlets will be there to serve the customer only on take away, this will be suitable for online sales.
In the restaurant business, the failure rate is very high, and it is mainly for the location and managing the cost and revenue. Through the cloud kitchen concept, both the issues are taken care of. The earlier concept was only dined in and later added the take away along with dine-in. With the new concept, the location and cost of maintaining the ambience will not be there.
