“Over the years, cloud kitchen has witnessed a significant rise, especially post-COVID. While the brand’s cost is significantly reduced, with the cloud kitchen concept, it still has to consider multiple factors like kitchen setup, maintenance services, location and much more. Keeping this in mind Speed Kitchen has developed a unique commercial shared kitchen concept which will further reduce the cost to run a kitchen.”
