Virtual Food Halls

Kitchen Hub Consists of Multiple Restaurants That Only Offer Takeout & Delivery

— March 5, 2020 — Business
Toronto's Kitchen Hub is Canada's first virtual food hall, consisting of multiple restaurants that only offer delivery and takeout. With Kitchen Hub, restaurants are provided turnkey kitchen spaces that are fully optimized for takeout and delivery orders. Kitchen Hub's partners will be delivering to customers through food delivery network SkipTheDishes, which gives them the freedom and flexibility to order from one or more of the restaurants at a time.

Thanks to Kitchen Hub's central location, it helps to circumvent radius restrictions set by delivery partners. Through the virtual food hall, people in Toronto will be able to conveniently place orders from restaurants like Pai Northern Thai Kitchen, Blondies Pizza, Kanga Aussie Meat Pies, The Cheesecake Factory Bakery and more.
