These kitchens capitalize on the growing trend of food delivery services by leveraging lower overhead costs compared to traditional dine-in establishments. The necessity for cloud kitchens arises from the explosion of online food delivery platforms, changing consumer preferences favoring convenience, and increasing urban populations with busy lifestyles. Their applications are vast, serving various cuisines and leveraging data-driven approaches to meet consumer demands efficiently. End-use scope primarily includes food delivery chains, restaurants seeking delivery expansion without physical dining spaces, and new entrepreneurs entering the food service market.
