About
CloudKitchens is a commercial real estate and technology company founded in 2016 by Travis Kalanick (co-founder and former CEO of Uber) and headquartered in Los Angeles, California. The company acquires underutilized commercial real estate — warehouses, parking lots, former retail spaces — and converts them into modular, delivery-optimized kitchen facilities that it rents to restaurant operators, food delivery brands, and virtual restaurant concepts. Restaurants lease kitchen space and use CloudKitchens' technology platform to manage orders across delivery apps (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub), track operations, and scale their delivery presence without the overhead of a traditional dine-in restaurant.
