Consumers want high-quality delivery and carry-out meals ready to eat. Delivery Kitchens understands that rebuilding the traditional restaurants for the delivery experience has many components including, but not limited to configurable kitchen, supply-chain, kitchen management, staff-on-demand, dishwashing, order management (POS), take-out management, delivery management, marketing, and loyalty management. These are all things chefs, artisans, and restaurateurs are not particularly skilled. Delivery Kitchens goal is to create a turn-key solution so the best chefs, artisans, and restaurateurs can expand their brands along with Delivery Kitchens as we expand our presence across the country.
First, the configurable kitchen space to cook solves a number of problems for the chefs, artisans, and restaurateurs. The inexpensive, low start-up rent allows existing businesses to expand quickly and move into new markets at minimal cost. This will lower overhead and create a faster time to market for upcoming chefs, artisans, and restaurateurs. Configurable kitchens by Delivery Kitchens provides financing for major equipment purchases and be able to build those costs into the lease. Delivery Kitchens will manage supply-chain through a digital platform to help provide daily deliveries for each tenant.
Beyond just the physical space, Delivery Kitchens will ease the labor burden on customers through fractional staffing or staff-on-demand. The space will require fewer staff to operate the kitchen and staffing cost will be proportionally shared among the tenants. Delivery Kitchens will supply the dishwashing, janitorial services, staff-on-demand, and take-out management for the kitchen, further lowering the headcount and cost to operate.
Next, Delivery Kitchens will provide order management, take-out management, integrate delivery management, and create a loyalty program to lower the overall cost of delivery and improve the volume of orders through a monthly subscription model.
