California is going to the dogs, or more accurately, the Dog Haus, a gourmet hot dog, sausage and burger restaurant with virtual kitchens now in Oakland and San Francisco with CloudKitchens, and a virtual kitchen in Santa Monica with Colony, according to a press release.

All three virtual kitchens serve Dog Haus' signature menu for delivery and pickup in addition to one-of-a-kind menus from five of The Absolute Brands' delivery-only concepts — Bad Mutha Clucka, Plant B, Bad-Ass Breakfast Burritos, Big Belly Burgers and JAILBIRD with additional concepts rolling out soon. Created by Dog Haus' founders, The Absolute Brands is a new restaurant group comprised of Dog Haus and multiple unique concepts. Each of The Absolute Brands offers items that are off-shoots of Dog Haus' signature menu.

"As early adopters of the virtual kitchen platform, we've seen how dominant this business model has become in the industry," Quasim Riaz, partner for the Dog Haus said in a release. "Virtual kitchens are innovative and built for today's consumer, but they're also adaptable. We have a great working partnership with CloudKitchens … and we're expanding our footprint in this space by working with Colony, which is located on LA's Westside. We're pleased to continue expanding this platform to bring Dog Haus and The Absolute Brands to the vibrant communities of Oakland, San Francisco and Santa Monica."

CloudKitchen is headquartered in Los Angeles, California. Colony is headquartered in West Los Angeles, California. Dog Haus is headquartered in Pasadena, California, and opened in 2010. It now has 40+ locations nationwide, with 10+ in development
