Delivery optimised kitchens:
The smartest way to grow your business online
Online food delivery is here to stay. Open a delivery optimised kitchen in Italy or Portugal that allows you to scale your delivery business at a fraction of the cost with CityChefs.
DELIVERY KITCHENS
What are delivery-only kitchens?
Cloud Kitchens, dark kitchens or sometimes referred to as ghost kitchens, are kitchens dedicated to servicing online food delivery. Unlike traditional commercial kitchens, CityChef's locations are fully optimised for food prep and order fulfilment, requiring minimal kitchen staff and investment.
Why open a dark kitchen with
CityChef?
By 2028, the restaurant food delivery market in the UK is expected to exceed £10 billion. Although operating on delivery platforms presents its challenges, our dark kitchens are specifically designed to address these concerns, helping you streamline operations, reduce overheads and reach more customers.
Reduced barriers to entry and flexible terms
Say goodbye to expensive kitchen fitouts and 10-year leases. Open a kitchen with CityChefs in as little as 2 weeks with leases starting from 18 months.
New customers at your fingertips
Our commercial restaurant kitchen spaces are located in densely populated areas with the highest volumes of delivery orders, so you can reach more customers online.
Turn-key solution
Our kitchens are built with the infrastructure needed to get started - extraction & ventilation, gas points, sinks and more. Just bring whatever equipment you need to cook and prep.
Test your concept with low risk
Our 1.5-year leases give you the flexibility to test new operations, even new delivery zones. With a network of kitchens in Milan and Lisbon, we give you the flexibility to scale up or down.
Operate multiple brands from one kitchen
Add new revenue streams with multiple brands that reach more customers. Same space, same staff just more opportunities!
Make delivery & dine-in an equal priority
Brick & Mortar restaurants no longer need to choose between caring for dine-in customers and making online delivery work. With a delivery-focused kitchen, you can have the right set up to make both revenue streams profitable.
All you need and more
Our private kitchen units come with the essential infrastructure and build out to get you started - including prep sink, gas points, power outlets and more. All you need to do is bring your favourite equipment and cookware to get started. Our on-site team will manage the shared facility spaces like staff breakrooms, toilets and lockers so you don't have to!
