Ghost kitchens lose popularity among millennials as takeout dining increases (New Data)

Restaurant Power Index Report

The demand for ghost kitchens has declined by 42% among millennials in the past year, according to a new report from Restaurant Power Index. The report found that millennials are increasingly choosing to order takeout from traditional restaurants instead of using third-party delivery apps.

The decline in demand for ghost kitchens is likely due to several factors, including the rising popularity of takeout dining and the increasing availability of virtual brands. Virtual brands are delivery-only restaurants that operate out of existing brick-and-mortar locations.
