Low infrastructure and overhead costs –
As there is no dine-in area in cloud kitchens, you don’t have to spend money on expensive chairs and tables, servers, cleaning boys and cutlery. Unlike restaurants, you neither need to locate your venture in a posh area. Thus you can save an enormous amount of money on rentals as well.
Ease of managing orders –
