Problem
Restaurant kitchens often experience idle capacity during off‑peak periods, leading to underutilized staff, equipment, and space while rising operational costs and reduced dine‑in traffic pressure profitability.
Solution

The model leverages the host kitchen’s current staff and facilities, requiring minimal additional investment, while Growth Kitchen provides training, marketing, and order management. Restaurants receive a steady stream of extra orders—typically 200‑250 per week—translating into an additional £4‑6k in weekly sales without the need for franchise fees or extensive promotional effort.
