Now event restaurant chains are jumping on the ghost kitchen trend

Ghost kitchens started cropping up several years ago, typically with individual restaurants operating a delivery-only business that differed from what they sold in their dining rooms. Now, like some other big players, Canadian restaurant conglomerate Recipe Unlimited Corp. is creating its own virtual concept — named Ultimate Kitchen. The first one, in Toronto, cooks food from six of its brands: Swiss Chalet, East Side Mario’s, Montana’s, Fresh, New York Fries and Harveys. The company uses third-party app services, for delivery, but will likely bring the service in-house in the future.
