  • 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.
