Consultants expect ghost kitchens to be the top project type in the coming year. This growth is on top of the expansion in ghost kitchens we have already seen.
There are many reasons for this trend; there is less overhead and staffing costs, locations can be easier located because front-of-the-house dining space is not a concern with real estate, and ghost kitchens can be configured to optimize production of certain types of cuisines and menu items. No matter how great the equipment and production, though, there is one important element ghost kitchen owners and operators need to consider to ensure success – delivery.
The Delivery Process
According to Technomics, restaurant food delivery increased by 50 percent when comparing pre-COVID numbers to those from the remainder of 2020. Everyone has access to great ingredients, chefs, and preparation processes, but are they maintaining the quality from packaging to the final delivery?
The delivery process is very important. The Cooktek Thermacube delivery system uses induction technology to retain flavor and food temperature, ensuring food arrives hot and with the right levels of moisture. Insulated bags may have been the only option in the past, but we have come a long way in delivery technology. Since early 2020, the operators that pay attention to the details of delivery are increasing their odds of repeat business.
CookTek ThermaCubeThe CookTek ThermaCube creates a heated delivery environment that keeps the food at its original temperature for up to 30 minutes. Using an induction-charged natural convection tray, hot air is circulated around food to ensure temperature, and with a VaporVent lid, condensation is eliminated.
Units heat up in as little as 3.5 minutes and can recharge in a minute and a half. For even more ease-of-use, units are cordless, come in two different sizes, and are easy to clean. The ThermaCube is ideal for delivering a full range of menu items.
Thermacubes are being mounted to the front of scooters and bikes, and are placed in the back of 3rd party delivery vehicles. CookTek has two delivery system options depending on the type of foods being delivered.
CookTek Pizza Delivery System
Any pizza connoisseur will tell you pizza is at its best when it comes out of the oven. We all know pizza delivery is one of the biggest profit centers in the foodservice industry. The solution, then, is to find a delivery system that holds pizza in that post-oven state until it reaches the customer's front door.
If operators are looking to deliver pizza, the CookTek Pizza Delivery System is the way to go. Take pizzas straight from a hot oven, drop them in a box, and insert them into a delivery unit powered by an induction-charged disc. Like the ThermaCube, they heat up fast and deliver a top-notch flavor-full, crisp pizza.
