Ghost kitchen count in selected countries 2020
A ghost kitchen, otherwise known as a dark kitchen, cloud kitchen, or virtual restaurant is a restaurant that does not provide dine-in or takeaway services to customers. It is primarily virtual and is reliant on food delivery apps, such as Grubhub, website/web portal orders, and/or calls to generate sales. As of July 2020, it was estimated that China accounted for more than 7,500 ghost kitchens. Meanwhile, the United Kingdom had a much smaller estimate of 750 operational ghost kitchens.
