Food delivery services have been a gamechanger for the industry, but the term ‘Cloud Kitchen’, though often associated with it, is only being recognized now. However, the popularity of cloud kitchens in Singapore has been years in the making.
What is A Cloud Kitchen?
A cloud kitchen is a fully-equipped kitchen space used for the delivery-only business model. This space functions just like any restaurants’ kitchen and sometimes, see multiple brands working out of the same kitchen. It’s easy to confuse cloud kitchens and virtual restaurants as they are very similar; the big difference being that cloud kitchens don’t necessarily represent any brand, but virtual restaurants only exist virtually.
This concept has thrived off of the digital age and the growing demand for convenience. With the rapid rise of food-delivery ventures and apps, cloud kitchens are considered a great stepping stone into the F&B industry for small business owners and entrepreneurs. It’s relatively cheaper with lower risks as opposed to the general brick-and-mortar. Several restaurants have also branched out into this venture. Third-party delivery companies like Uber Eats and Deliveroo are virtual businesses that connect restaurants with the e-facility.

Cloud kitchens work perfectly considering the uncertainty of current times. With its steady demand, the future for cloud kitchens looks very bright.
