  • Manhattan Retail Market MID-2ND QUARTER 2016 REPORT Retail Activity in the News
    Manhattan Retail Market MID-2ND QUARTER 2016 REPORT Retail Activity In The News Virtual Restaurant Business Revolutionizing Traditional Food Delivery The growing convenience of home food delivery through services such as Seamless and GrubHub has prompted the launch of what can be best described as “virtual restaurants.” One company Green Summit Group currently operates 2-kitchens and boasts 8 “restaurant” brands, yet is void of any storefronts. The business model is banking on the projection that most New York City dwellers won’t care or realize that the food is not being prepared in a traditional restaurant. Green Summit has eliminated the burden of managing retail spaces, while also further benef ting from its ability to shift menu items more quickly to cater to the fast-evolving preferences of consumers by creating another online-branded “restaurant” that appeals to the f avor of the moment. If a particular brand does not meet f nancial expectations it is easily scrapped, incurring a relatively low cost of failure. Currently in expansion mode, in addition to existing kitchens in Midtown and Williamsburg, Brooklyn, the Green Summit plans to open 4 additional kitchens in the Financial District, Downtown Brooklyn, the Upper East Side, and the East Village in 2016 in order to be within delivery range of 90% of New York’s online food-ordering population according to the company’s projections. Generating about $10 million in revenue in 2015, expansion plans are reportedly expected to triple revenue in 2016. Success of the company launched about 2 and a-half years ago may be short-lived in the opinion of some skeptics of the virtual model, pointing out that consumers want to engage with the restaurant brand.

The Commission hopes to gain a better understanding of the third-party delivery platform and virtual kitchen market and how City agencies regulate those entities as compared to traditional neighborhood serving brick and mortar businesses. They also hope to hear from business owners who have been impacted by third party delivery platform and virtual kitchen entities. Findings and recommendations generated from the hearing will be presented to both the Mayor’s Office and the Board of Supervisors. Background I. Third Party Delivery Platforms Third Party Delivery Platform, commonly known as delivery apps, are effectively ‘aggregators’ which connect customers with a multitude of local restaurants and retailers via websites or apps1. Orders placed via through these platforms are typically prepared by the restaurant or retailer and expedited by delivery workers. Popular delivery apps include Doordash, GrubHub, UberEats, and Postmates2. The delivery app market is growing rapidly, with platform sales increasing 41% in 20193. Industry bankers forecast that two out of three restaurant deliveries will originate through a third-party platform4. However, customers and restaurant/retailer partners need to be aware of the financial costs and competitive risks that come with the seemingly new convenience.

    SPRING 2021 ISSUE CASTING LIGHT ON TODAY’S PACKAGING TRENDS RESILIENT RESTAURANTS STEP UP TO THE CHALLENGE Ideas to Accelerate and Adapt in the Foodservice Industry Hinged Take-Out Containers Page 10 INSIGHTS The world’s latest crisis, COVID-19, has irreversibly shifted businesses across all industries, and the foodservice industry is no exception. Physical distancing and associated lockdowns have forced consumers to dramatically change their behavior, creating a completely new reality for foodservice operators across the globe. The Impact of the Pandemic For many people 2020 will go down in history as the year everything stopped, but for the foodservice industry, 2020 will be remembered as the year everything rapidly changed. Operators were forced to pivot their business models to accommodate delivery and takeout nearly over night in order to survive. Supermarkets shifted their self-service areas to pre-packaged takeout and delivery areas in an effort to replace traditional salad bar revenue. Most importantly, across all segments within the foodservice industry, the consumer demand for food safety is at an all-time high with customers expecting operators to have safety precautions in place. The Evolution of Foodservice Despite the hardships it has faced, the foodservice industry has shown remarkable resilience, flexibility and determination in the face of quickly evolving consumer demands. According to recent data, current consumer behavior is expected to continue beyond the end of the pandemic with two-thirds of consumers admitting they prefer ordering take-out and delivery even after dine-in restrictions are lifted, citing safety concerns. Operators have realized that off-premise has become their best growth opportunity and are finding creative ways to feed their success by extending the on premise dining experience to their take-out and delivery programs.

Outdoor dining, 1.5% socially-distanced tables, and masked waitstaff have Restaurants see as much become the norm — however, as colder temps arrive, as a 1.5 percent monthly restaurants are facing not only the typical winter sales drop in January alone slowdown, but the reality of the pandemic as well.

  • Cloud Kitchen Software
    SED 1035 Transcript EPISODE 1035 [INTRODUCTION] [00:00:00] JM: Food delivery apps have changed how the restaurant world operates. After 7 years of mobile food delivery, the volume of food ordered through these apps has become so large that entire restaurants can be sustained solely through the order flow that comes in from the apps. This raises the question as to why you even need an on-prem restaurant. A cloud kitchen is a large, shared kitchen where food is prepared for virtual restaurants. These virtual restaurants exist only on mobile apps. There are no waiters. There are only the food delivery couriers who pick up the food from these warehoused-sized food preparation facilities. A virtual restaurant entrepreneur could open up multiple restaurants operated from the same cloud kitchen. The mobile app user might see multiple restaurant listings. It might be a pizza place, a cookie bakery and a Thai food restaurant, when in fact all of them are operated by the same restaurateur. The word of virtual restaurants and cloud kitchens is very new, very interesting and it’s a very big market. Ashley Colpaart is the founder of the Food Corridor, a system for cloud kitchen management. Ashley joins the show to talk about the dynamics of virtual restaurants and the cloud kitchen industry. We are in the midst of the COVID-19, and a group of developers has created a hackathon called CODEVID-19, which is a pandemic hackathon. The goal is to create solutions that help people manage and survive during the COVID-19 pandemic, and they’re using the hackathon platform that I’ve built, called FindCollabs.
