The chain's first ghost kitchen collaboration will be in Columbus, Ohio, and will be in partnership with CloudKitchens, a company that's dedicated to smart kitchens that are fully geared towards delivery and takeout orders. Similarly to other businesses that have seen the appeal in the concept, Torchy's Tacos will work with the ghost kitchen to make its menu available for order through third party food apps like DoorDash, and will also allow fans to place orders through the company website.
