A lot of restaurant trends have popped up in the past 18 months of pandemic life \u2013 curbside pickup, expanded app delivery services, contactless ordering<\/a>, and more. It\u2019s certainly been an interesting time. One such trend we wanted to dive into further? Delivery-only restaurants. Let\u2019s talk!<\/p>\n

In 2021, it\u2019s projected<\/a> that the digital food delivery industry will see revenues of over $306 million, with growth of 16 percent in 2022. According to an Associated Press<\/a> article, \u201cdelivery now makes up 11 percent of restaurant sales, up 86 percent since the pandemic began.\u201d The general idea of a delivery-only restaurant format is that it allows a restaurant to prepare food for the express purpose of delivery. A novel idea, right? Established chains<\/a> can develop delivery-only restaurants, or food entrepreneurs can dip a toe into the market without investing too much cash.<\/p>\n

A sort of \u201cstripped-down\u201d version of a brick-and-mortar restaurant, the delivery-only concept only needs a building and a few staff members, plus a kitchen area\u2014no customers planning on a sit-down meal, here. Some owners operating a delivery-only restaurant will even rent out space<\/a> to multiple restaurants at once, increasing their revenue flow. If a business is seeing less in-house customers, they may also turn to a delivery-only concept to expand their customer base.<\/p>\n

Virtual Dining Concepts<\/a> is a company established by restaurant owners that, according to its website, \u201coffers traditional restaurant owners a low risk, all in one solution to launch a profitable delivery-only restaurant concept in their existing kitchen operations, with zero upfront fees.\u201d They will work<\/a> with regional chains, independent restaurants, hotels, and bars\u2014anyone with a commercial kitchen that\u2019s in an area with readily available food delivery services. Virtual Dining Concepts offers menus in nearly every type of food, plus packaging and marketing. The only thing restaurant owners have to do is cook. There\u2019s even online ordering included with each \u201cconcept.\u201d<\/p>\n

There\u2019s been pushback on this trend, to be sure. Some consumers believe they\u2019re ordering food from a new, niche establishment only to learn it\u2019s actually a big chain behind the food. The moral of that story? If you\u2019re operating a chain, it pays to be transparent about your virtual brands.<\/p>\n
