Yes, these changes were all the more beneficial in that specific situation. In many ways, the pandemic worked as a catalyst for changes that were long overdue anyway. Again, the incentives are pretty gross when you think about it and I won't support it.īoth with this particular case and from a more general perspective, I keep encountering examples where businesses and people seem all too eager to revert to their olden, pre-pandemic ways without putting any thought into if such a reversal really makes sense: "The pandemic is over. The quality sucks and they can easily just rebrand under a new fake name after burning their reputation. I too was intrigued by the ghost kitchen idea when it first came out but so far from what I've seen it's the worst of all worlds. I think the chicken tenders I got from one them would have better if I had made frozen chicken tenders in the oven verses what I got. I don't believe there are any "delivery-only, multi-brand kitchens" in my city (yet) but there are a ton of real and fake brands being sold out of other kitchens and the results less than stellar. Of all of those the 3rd is the only one that I'm even slightly ok with but I feel like the incentives for these kitchens don't favor the customers and it's just a race to the bottom of using the cheapest/crappiest ingredients to make a quick buck. The kind that is a real brand being sold out of a different restaurant, the fake brands sold out of a regular restaurant, and the fake/real brands sold out of a mixed kitchen that only does delivery. That's the thing, I know there are 2-3 kinds of "ghost kitchen". Is it asking too much to have a service that's transparent, functions well and have the end product taste good? Or, you order from one of these weird ghost kitchen brands and the actual restaurant doesn't actually get your order (despite the app telling you they confirmed it) and your second driver finally tells you to cancel the order. And then the food arrives and it's terrible and you match up the physical address and realize it's a poorly rated Indian restaurant by a different name. This delivery specific restaurant has good reviews on DD, but when you Google that restaurant name nothing comes up aside from listings on the app. Using the current Android mobile app, you can't actually drill into and read reviews which makes assessing the actual quality of the restaurant difficult.Īnd I've found that restaurants will run their own "ghost kitchen" shadow restaurant out of their main (poorly rated) location. We don't order using apps often, but when we do we find that so much of the selection consists of mediocre looking Chinese, Indian, pizza and Mexican.
