Ghost kitchens

That's a ton of brands for one ghost kitchen (if you weren't exaggerating), but it's probably just a tiny kitchen with a bunch of ingredients.

I was exaggerating, but it’s insane. It feels like half the Grubhub listings in my neighborhood are at that address. 19 a counting. Maybe Grubhub needs to have a cap.

I did door dash for a little while and there's places like that all over. Was constantly picking up food from one just off Girard near Broad St and another one in Mantua

pasta glory

burger paradise

wingdings&more

betterthansalad pizza

spice36 grill indian restaurant(???)

killer wings

It’s southview pizza, I think they made a bunch of fake names to get more customers. Good hustle I guess?

Top Tomato is also like 20 businesses on UberEats. Seorabol is Korean Express, too.

Top Tomato is a pretty good place though

It may be, but I'd be suspicious of the quality coming out of a single kitchen trying to keep up with the demand of like a dozen grubhub listings.

They don't pull in that mich volume on those accounts. They also moved last year to a mich bigger location.

In their defense, like 3-4 of those listens are burgers, 3-4 are for wings, and 3-4 are for pizza. It's not too hard of a menu to juggle.

I had an $10/mo Amex credit for ubereats and most of these places are close enough that delivery would be stupid. And that's how you end up looking at the map view on UE.

Do ghost kitchens have to follow health/sanitary requirements that other restaurants have to follow?

Yes and no. You only have to prove you have a ServSafe certificate to get a listing but whether or not the person making the food is adhering to that is a different beast. You could easily run a ghost kitchen out of your house with six pets and three kids making microwave meals. People have done it before.

I always google the address of a new place I'm ordering from on those apps just to verify. Avoid the ghosts!
