CloudKitchens - thoughts?
Travis Kalanick’s new company. Recruiter reached out and I’m curious what everyone’s thoughts/experience are? Please explain in the comments if you can (other than simply your thoughts on Travis himself). Thanks in advance! *Update - they’re having me sign an NDA before talking to the recruiter. Piques my interest that much more.
I heard it’s very operation heavy not much a tech company. Personally I don’t see it have huge success before delivery logistics being solved.
Untrue - I'm loyal to certain cloud kitchens because they make good food.
Yes, it's a big thing in India already. https://rebelfoods.co/
Cloud kitchens sounds like a we work business model .
No. WeWork doesn’t own any property. CloudKitchen actually does and they rent it out to various restaurants.
Doesn’t cloud kitchen own cheap real estate in undesirable parts of the city . How valuable is that real estate portfolio ?
I’m currently interviewing and have the same questions/curiosity. I just left a start up so I’m always skeptical during these interviews. The recruiter was unable to answer any of my questions or really give me information on the role since we had an NDA signed, but wanted me to explain why i’d want to work there when they reached out.
If thats the treatment you get from a recruiter who's after YOU, run don't walk away.
Yeah I don’t love the sound of that...
Sad attempt to brand and to collect margin from exploiting underqualified work. Similar to Uber/Lyft, with more operational complexity. Potentially quite lucrative for a few years, until customers wise up. Or recession hits.
Bunch of people commenting here who don't know shit about the business. Pretty much nothing listed here is true. Can't comment more due to NDA but suggest asking the recruiter to talk to a manager.
It sounds like you’re having a good experience there or know people who are?Can you share anything more? I worked for a start up doing the same thing as a development manager so I understand the business of flipping properties and ground up construction pretty well. I think anyone would have questions when given limited information about a job.
Hoping for just a little bit more here as well.

Good luck! Hopefully you get more than I did.
How much did you get?
I mean I already see it happening.
What do you mean?
Restaurants with tiny seating and a huge kitchen.
