Kitchen United, which provides off-premise optimized kitchen centers for restaurant brands, has signed leases for new locations in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
It's also readying centers to open this year in Atlanta, Columbus, Austin and Scottsdale. Currently, it has locations in Pasadena and Chicago’s River North community, according to a press release.
"The popularity of off-premise consumption in the restaurant industry — through both third-party delivery and pick-up — has quickly evolved from something that's exciting and interesting to talk about to something that is an absolute must for many restaurants across the country," said Massimo Noja De Marco, chief culinary officer and founder of Kitchen United, in the release. "The opportunity to improve the customer experience by providing food for consumption outside the four walls of the restaurant space is undeniable. We are thrilled to bring our kitchen centers to San Francisco and Los Angeles and to expand into a new neighborhood in Chicago, providing a turnkey solution for growing brands in each market."
Each new location is accepting restaurant partners. The first in San Francisco is located at 100 Hooper Street, on the ground floor of Adobe's San Francisco offices. The Los Angeles kitchen center is located at 52 W. Pico Boulevard and the new Chicago kitchen center is located in Fulton Market at 201 N. Elizabeth Street.
