The rise of kitchens that only exist within a mobile delivery app has already begun, according to an article in <a href="https://www.modernrestaurantmanagement.com/dont-be-in-the-dark-about-restaurant-digital-transformation/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=dark-kitchens-shine-light-on-potential-restaurant-industry-transformation-2708665" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">Modern Restaurant Management</a>. They&rsquo;re called &ldquo;dark kitchens&rdquo; and they &ldquo;exist only to fulfill delivery orders and are generally off-limits to the public. Delivery riders coming and going are the only signs that a busy kitchen staff is turning out meals,&rdquo; the article states. 

Dark kitchens appeal to&nbsp;restaurant owners&#39; desire to minimize costs by removing the need for a full staff and dining area while simultaneously appealing to the modern consumer&rsquo;s desire for exclusivity: many &ldquo;dark kitchen&rdquo; offerings can only be accessed via the app in which they live. 

What can restaurateurs expect &ldquo;dark kitchens&rdquo; to mean for the future?

&ldquo;The jury is out on whether dark kitchens are going to be anything more than a niche concept and most restaurants won&rsquo;t pursue a transformation that dramatic,&rdquo; the article says. &ldquo;But driven by rapidly evolving consumer expectations, many outlets, especially casual dining places, will start to look and feel different.&rdquo;
