Ghost Kitchens #1

Have you heard the term ghost kitchens? When I first heard this term on BBC, I was like wondering what it means. The discussion was on the survival of dine-in restaurants in the event of COVID 19 Pandemic. Food industry was one of the industries which was badly hit by the COVID 19, but at the same time, this has been the corner stone to the blooming of food delivery services. A ghost kitchen refers to a delivery-only restaurant or virtual kitchen, or in other words, a ghost kitchen specialises in delivery-only meals.
