Virtual kitchens have transformed how the food industry functions, leaning into modern customer demands to dine at home while propelling savvy restauranteurs and their brands forward. However, for virtual kitchens to deliver restaurant-quality meals, the necessary equipment is a must, and few are as essential as a walk-in cooler.
KPS Global knows the key to providing customer satisfaction in the food world is keeping ingredients fresh and refrigerated – especially with virtual kitchens that slim down service for food taste and quality –making walk-in coolers the heart of all these operations.
What Are Virtual Kitchens?
Virtual kitchens – also called ghost kitchens or dark kitchens – are stripped-down versions of a restaurant, focusing on food creation while cutting costs on real estate and customer service labor by eliminating in-house dining. Think of the changes in dining habits in the last couple of years with the pandemic, the increase of food trucks and ordering meals to go, virtual kitchens have offered a solution to restaurants.
To accomplish this, food prep had to evolve.
