What is Cloud kitchen?
• A cloud kitchen is a delivery-only restaurant with no physical dine-in 
room. It relies entirely on orders placed online via online food 
aggregators or a website or mobile app activated for online ordering. 
• The cloud kitchen format gives the restaurant the flexibility of using the 
same kitchen infrastructure to launch more than brands.

how many orders each brand has received.

Staffing
• A cloud kitchen due to the lack of a dine-in or take-off facility does not 
require any waiting staff but a highly skilled kitchen staff is required. 
• Your food is the only thing the customer gets in touch with, so it needs to 
be flawless. Besides that, if you plan on having an in-house delivery 
system and kitchen helpers, you will only need delivery agents.

Supply Management
• When your manufacturer has a wide selection of products, you will buy 
from the same supplier for all of your brands. 
• Just as in the case of a restaurant supplier, you have to make sure that 
your cloud kitchen supplier is just as punctual and specific with the 
orders.
