Scalability and automation
Cloud kitchen operations (aka ghost or dark kitchens) are built to scale. Your menus, SOPs, POs and production plans have to be indestructible.2
Measurable KPIs
You run multiple units and (virtual) brands. You manage a skeleton team of skilled and unskilled personnel working in shifts. And you are looking to expand the business. In short, you have to be on top of performance at all times.3
Bulletproof cost control
Having the cost side of a dark kitchen under control is vital. Margins are razor-thin and easily slashed to less than zero when food and labour costs peak. If you are expanding while running in red, it means you’ll bleed out faster.4
Easy-to-follow workflows
A cloud kitchen has to be all muscle, no fat. It is a hardcore production unit optimised for creating travel-ready quality food with speed and accuracy. You can’t be everywhere at once, so workflows have to be perfect and easy to execute.5
Accurate forecasting
Keeping CoGS on target is your number one goal. The better you can predict demand and purchases, the higher your inventory turnover will be, and the lower your food waste and food costs are.6
Data-driven decision making
A ghost kitchen is as much about tech as it is about food. Online orders, cost control, inventory management, purchasing forecasts: you build your company on data. You require a system that is able to connect the data points and make sense of them.

Monitor progress and compare units
A clear-cut dashboard gives management an overview of the operations and finances. Plus, it provides the insights needed for process optimisation.2
Verifiable CoGS and margins
KPI’s are continuously updated with data coming in from all back of house processes, which allows you to catch minor errors in production, inventory, purchasing or prime costs before they grow into significant issues.3
Consistency in quality
Your teams have access to precise recipe specs and step-by-step prep guidelines. Cost metrics, allergen labels and nutrient calculations get real-time updates and are available groupwide.4
Automated BoM to PO flow
The system processes the inventory and sales data. Next, it generates accurate bills of materials. In one click, the BoMs turn into multiple purchase orders for specific vendors. Moreover, the supply chain managers can share POs with the finance team.5
Minimal touchpoints
You minimise physical touchpoints and manual actions. You have no more error-prone print-outs or manual hand-overs. Metrics are automated, and all information is digitally available but protected by user permissions.6
