Abstract	The food and hospitality industry are experiencing a major shift with the rise of cloud kitchens, also known as ghost kitchens, virtual kitchens, or dark kitchens. These are delivery-only kitchens with no dine-in facility, focused completely on preparing food for online orders and takeaways. With the growing popularity of food delivery apps like Swiggy, Zomato, and Uber Eats, cloud kitchens have become an ideal solution for modern food businesses. This model helps restaurant owners reduce costs, as they do not need to invest in furniture, large spaces, or serving staff. It also makes it easier for new food brands and entrepreneurs to enter the market with less risk and faster growth. Multiple brands can operate from the same kitchen space, which adds to its flexibility and efficiency. Cloud kitchens use technology and data to improve food preparation, order tracking, and customer satisfaction. They are especially useful in urban areas where the demand for quick and affordable home-delivered meals is high. The COVID-19 pandemic further boosted this trend, as people preferred contactless food delivery over dining out. This paper explores the concept, growth, and future potential of cloud kitchens. It also highlights different cloud kitchen models and identifies the leading cloud kitchen brands in India. Cloud kitchens are not just a trend but a long-term solution that is shaping the future of the culinary and hospitality industry. Their impact is being seen in how food is cooked, delivered, and consumed in today's digital world.
