Councilmember Mark Gjonaj is spooked by ghost kitchens, and he was not shy about it in today’s committee meeting on the subject. “I’m truly concerned that we’re jeopardizing New Yorkers,” Gjonaj, who is chair of the Committee on Small Business, said.
The committee met for its first hearing on the oversight of delivery-only kitchens, a rapidly growing sector that may fundamentally change the food and beverage industry. Ghost kitchens include shared kitchens managed by a single operator, and virtual kitchens, restaurants with no physical locations, and the two models sometimes overlap.
The primary concern is whether ghost
kitchens may threaten local restaurants by eliminating overhead for
larger, more monied companies, that can effortlessly compete online...
RSK: I understand the costs involved in delivery. Ghost Kitchens may come and go but the truth is there is a lot of cost in labor etc. in a regular restaurant.
