I’ve been pondering this for quite some time. Does it really make a difference if I see a fast food brand near my house? Will I be more inclined to order delivery from it?

Perhaps, I conclude. Indeed, I conclude “probably” about a lot of the things that are tormenting my mind.

But then I stumbled upon the latest knowledge and conjecture from the National Restaurant Association, published in Online Restaurant Business.

It seems 30% members of the association believes that ghost kitchen delivery will become a bigger thing by 2023. An equality 30% believe it will actually drop.

“How is that possible?” I hear you snort. If you price it right, your digital tools are sharp, and your kitchen staff work at the same speed, you’ll do well. You will live at the intersection of hunger and instant gratification.

However, perhaps there is something about it that has psychological implications. what’s like of McDonald’s And Burger King doing great not terrible on a consistent basis. Most of the time, they excel at just good enough.

Customers trust it. Their hunger needs to be satisfied immediately — or as immediately as possible for humans.

Each ghost kitchen delivery order is initially a trial. For many, it also incites suspicion. Where did this thing come from? Who made it? How can I trust this won’t poison me?

I never said this was a good thing. However, I feel that it is a real thing. If something — or someone — is part of your community, you’ll want to drop by and say hello. You may even want to chat. You will be perfectly happy if they come to your house from time to time.

For the longest time, I have ever ordered delivery from a local Chinese restaurant. It will always be one of two restaurant employees who come to my door with the order. They are excellent representatives of a business that is part of a community, a business where one can come and eat. And the food is extremely consistent.

I have never gone and eaten there. However, I wonder how it works knowing that I can.
