About Kitchen United

Kitchen United is a new-to-the-world multi-unit concept that meets at the intersection of three food megatrends localization, delivery, and artisanal production. Kitchen United provides the commercial kitchen infrastructure to enable big restaurant brands to get closer to their customers, all types of restaurants to optimize their footprint for off-premise dining occasions.

The food delivery industry is already massive ($43B in 2017) and is projected by Morgan Stanley to eclipse $210B in the next ten years. As Kitchen United expands, and opens 15-20 facilities across the country, we will provide the infrastructure to help facilitate this growth. Our plan calls for opening 100+ locations over the next few years, each with 15-20 restaurants. It will be the fastest ever restaurant expansion.
