The food industry is rapidly changing. Whether it’s the global pandemic, higher start-up costs, or burdensome regulations that’s threatened the traditional food industry and its business models, cloud kitchens are challenging that ultimatum. A cloud kitchen, often also referred to as a ghost kitchen or virtual kitchen, is a commercial kitchen space that provides food businesses the typical facilities and services of a regular kitchen that prepares menu items for delivery and takeaways. Recent data and research have indicated a booming rise in food delivery orders in the past year and it is only anticipated to increase over the next couple of years. The concept therefore enables restaurant owners and food entrepreneurs to turn to cloud kitchens as an ideal business solution.

WORX is located in the heart of Colombo, and provides hybrid coworking spaces, flexible membership agreements and the ideal backdrop to gather, create and innovate. The space is now looking to launch WORX Kitchen, offering access to a fully-equipped and fully-staffed commercial kitchen, available 24 hours a day, seven days-a-week to rent on a shift-by-shift basis. “After being dealt a heavy blow by closures of facilities as a result of the pandemic, restaurant operators are increasingly turning to creative solutions to serve the growing delivery market,” expressed Azahn Munas, Director of WORX. “Our aim is to provide food brands and entrepreneurs with quality facilities, in the very best location in the city.”

Cloud kitchens save time, money and hassle. Whether your business is already established and thriving but has overhead costs that’s digging into your pockets, or your part of a fresh start-up looking to kick off deliveries and takeaways, WORX Kitchen takes care of everything including building, managing and equipping an environment that allows you to focus on what’s important - your food. Using our kitchen space doesn't mean you have to require a six-figure investment to get started or worry about hidden fees or unnecessary mark-ups. Select a day/s of the week, pick a shift that suits you best, four-hour, eight hour or 24 hours, pay the hourly rate, bring your own utensils and simply start cooking, it’s that simple! Our location also allows you to reach a large number of potential customers in both residential and commercial areas. “We want to give the next generation of brands everything they need, and be a great value-added solution for those looking to introduce new food items or menus in a great post code. We do believe WORX Kitchen is perfect even for bakers, home chefs, caterers looking to take the next step, and perhaps for those looking to do cooking classes/tutorials in a spacious commercial kitchen,” added Azahn. Skip the traditional leases and costly equipment purchases, leave the pesky maintenance to us and optimize higher demand without overburdening yourself or your staff. So, if working in a professional environment where you can select which hours work best for your business and only pay for what you use sounds appealing, then feel free to get in touch!
