High-end expensive restaurants could not continue their regular operation after the recession. The idea for Cloud Kitchen originated in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. It started in the subcontinent in India, through Rebel Foods, the country’s largest cloud kitchen chain.

The practice of the current cloud kitchen model began at the beginning of the last decade. More specifically, the pizza takeout system has been around since the 1950s. Pizza delivery restaurants have been doing business following similar models for decades. History of Cloud KitchenĪlthough it sounds new, the Cloud Kitchen concept is quite old. There is a mobile app, website or phone call facility for food ordering and delivery of food to customers within the stipulated time through own or third party food delivery service providers. Cloud Kitchens can be built anywhere since they don’t require extensive space. Multi-brand cloud kitchens can also operate different brands through the same kitchen facility. The cloud kitchen format has the flexibility to serve several types of cuisine using the same kitchen facility. That means Cloud Kitchen is basically a virtual kitchen. Customers can place orders through mobile apps, websites or phone calls. Unlike traditional restaurants, Cloud Kitchen offers delivery-based meals without a physical storefront from which customers can dine in. The cloud kitchen business is on its way to make a major contribution to the country’s GDP growth. Thus new business models are emerging around this market and foreign investment is being brought into the entire food-tech ecosystem in Bangladesh. Business experts say Cloud Kitchen is the future of restaurant business. Apart from Cloud Kitchen, this model is gaining popularity day by day under the names of Ghost Kitchen, Dark Kitchen, Virtual Restaurant, Satellite Restaurant and several others. Cloud Kitchen currently has the most traction in the food delivery industry among the rising trend of online food delivery. According to a projection of global business data platform Statista, the market size of the global online food delivery industry will be more than $182 billion in 2024. The service is becoming increasingly more popular, as it allows you to enjoy the food you love right from your couch. In the coming months, look forward to a Broadway-inspired festival paying homage to teatime staples like the Broadway bun (already on the menu) and cutting chai as well as specialties like Brain Roast and Paya.Online food ordering and delivery service is one of the most popular services in the world. We however have our sights set on the Dairy Milk Chocolate Poli! Vegetarians can look out for options like the Koyambedu Cauliflower Roast and Mylai Podi Uralai Roast. We find ourselves drenching our idiyappams with the home-style Nattu Kozhi curry (cooked in a clay pot) and going for seconds of the Raawuther Beef Chukka! The latter, chef Manikandan shares, “has just a hint of cardamom, inspired by drives through Muslim neighborhoods in Triplicane”. Expect generous portions of meat with a pairing of rice (try the Melagu Poondu Rasa Sadham) or Indian bread ( parotta). We spot a liberal smattering of shallots and whole garlic cloves which adds a rustic appeal to the Royapuram Kozhi Idichai Masala.
