A lot of the ghost kitchens I’ve encountered are three or four different “restaurants” with one guy working. The food is 90% deep fried frozen stuff, and the stuff they do cook tastes bad or is really average quality at best in my experience. If they get enough bad ratings they close that one and start a new one with an identical menu but a new name and uber doesn’t care.
Some of them are even real restaurants that had bad ratings so they run a shop with a different menu out of their kitchen. An Indian place near me has 2.4 stars which is the lowest I had ever seen - until they started a pizza shop out of the same kitchen and got down to 1.9.
Maybe some are good, but I’ve never encountered a good one in my city. There’s no accountability, and it leads to lower standards.
I really hate how deceptive they are. There’s a company called Virtual Dining Concepts that has like one location in an area, but they sign up as 30 or more different “restaurants” on delivery apps. All having the same menu and their items all have the same ingredients, and there are so many listings to trick you into ordering their food thinking you are trying a new local place called “Slutty Buns” or whatever
What’s wrong with a ghost kitchen?

1.9? Are they playing for being The Room of restaurants, wow.
