A cloud kitchen, also known as a virtual kitchen, shadow kitchen, commissary kitchen, dark kitchen, or ghost kitchen, is a specialized commercial cooking space designed to support restaurants in preparing food specifically for takeout and delivery. Unlike traditional restaurants with physical storefronts, cloud kitchens operate with minimal overhead costs, focusing on online orders and delivery services. Kitchen-as-a-service, commonly referred to as dark kitchens, are fully equipped cooking spaces that are leased to restaurant concepts for their ghost kitchen operations. While some ghost kitchens may have a drive-through or takeout area, they do not have a traditional physical storefront or indoor seating for customers. Instead, their focus is on efficiently producing meals for online orders and delivery.
