Ghost kitchens, also known as cloud kitchens, dark kitchens, and virtual kitchens, are an emerging segment of the online food delivery market. They act as a centralized production facility which can be rented by food businesses to prepare meals for delivery. The concept means restaurants can provide a delivery-only service, eliminating the costs of opening their business to walk-in customers.
