Definitions

1

A restaurant that exists only on delivery apps — no storefront, no dine-in, no walk-ups. Often several "brands" share one back-of-house, each with its own menu and Uber Eats / DoorDash listing but the same cooks and same fryer. Boomed during the pandemic; the economics are leaner but the customer relationship is the app's, not yours.

“That "Nashville Hot Chicken Co." on DoorDash? It's a ghost restaurant working out of a pizza place's kitchen.”
