Founded in 2020 by Franchise Creator CEO Hossein Kasmai, Combo Kitchen is the world's first ghost kitchen franchise opportunity of its kind. Ghost kitchens, also known as virtual, shadow, or cloud kitchens, are professional food preparation and cooking facilities without dining areas to facilitate to-go orders and deliveries. Without the need to provide dine-in services, restaurateurs can bypass the costly expenses of leasing a storefront, interior construction, furniture and décor, and a staff to serve customers. By reducing overhead and streamlining operations, restaurateurs can focus on the most important aspect of their business: their food.
