dark kitchen

Q: What is the difference between a dark kitchen and a ghost kitchen?

Nothing meaningful. Both describe a kitchen producing food for delivery rather than for people eating on site. Operators use the terms interchangeably, and both are welcome on Oya.

Q: Does my unit need to be purpose built?

No. Plenty of successful dark kitchens started as a spare prep area, an unused restaurant kitchen or a small industrial unit with the right extraction and power.

Q: Which locations are in most demand?

Anywhere with delivery density. Supply is heavily concentrated in London, so units in Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Nottingham, Glasgow and Cardiff tend to attract strong interest quickly.

Q: What do operators look for?

Extraction, power supply, access hours, cold storage and parking for riders and drivers. Include these in your listing and you will get better quality enquiries.

Q: How flexible are the terms?

Very. Dark kitchen arrangements on Oya are usually flexible rentals, which suits operators testing a new area and hosts who do not want to commit long term.

Dark kitchen and ghost kitchen units let fast on Oya.

Delivery brands need capacity in the right postcodes, and there are more operators looking than there are units available outside London.

Delivery brands are looking for ghost kitchen space right now

List your space

Dark kitchens, ghost kitchens and delivery only units all describe the same thing to an operator: a production space with the right extraction, power and access, close enough to the customers they want to reach.

Oya puts your unit in front of over 3,000 vetted food vendors, including delivery first brands opening new sites and established kitchens adding capacity. You set the terms, we handle the viewings and the agreement.

The regional gap is the opportunity

Most UK dark kitchen supply sits inside Greater London while demand is nationwide. A unit in Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Nottingham or Cardiff lists into a market with very little choice.
