The dark kitchens cooking up a takeaway revolution
While restaurants struggle, the order-in market is booming β and itβs feeding a new industry.
"Inside are eight small kitchens β all but one without a window β squeezed into a 4,452 sq ft space. Each is roughly the size of a garage and employs between five and seven chefs, working in shifts from midday to 10:45 pm. They can pump out up to 1,000 orders on a busy evening, as Deliveroo drivers arrive at regular intervals to pick up brown bags of food ordered by hungry nearby residents."
