​Ghosts on the go

7/26/2021

 
ghost kitchen
As evidence of their growing prominence in the restaurant industry, ghost kitchens are now getting their own events. In June, the Ghost Kitchen Conference in Dallas addressed this new and growing segment of the restaurant industry and how brands are approaching everything from menu development to digital marketing to site selection. Nation’s Restaurant News reports that ghost kitchens are demonstrating potential and an ability to gain competitive advantage in a few key areas. Service is one. While demand for delivery and off-premise restaurant food is high, the experience of eating this food can be lacking and difficult for operators to control. There is opportunity in the ghost kitchen segment to condense the physical distance between restaurants and customers and also channel more resources into building stronger relationships with delivery providers in an effort to make delivery a higher-quality experience (Fazoli’s, for example, treats delivery drivers to breadsticks.) Because ghost kitchens are small, nimble and flexible, there is also potential for them to push the boundaries of the segment. They can easily plug into grocery stores, airports, hotels or other facilities with a captive audience for restaurant food. Finally, these kitchens are lowering the barriers of entry into the industry. No longer does opening a restaurant require a substantial investment or attractive real estate (though the challenges of marketing ghost kitchens without brick-and-mortar counterparts surely generate new challenges related to marketing and customer engagement).
