Has anyone noticed new restaurants popping up with the same address as existing ones? The menu is mostly the same but with better pictures and the price is jacked up. Is this the new cloudless kitchen concept?

    Be aware, some of these places has no health inspections and are just someone's house.

      We can skip the who is right and just do your own investigation.

      If you are curious who is right just do the following

      Go on your Uber or whatever app and find those new restaurants that have amazing pictures but low or no reviews.

      The one's where you have lived in the city for year's but never heard of.

      Type the restaurants name on Google maps.

      Go to street view

      See if it's an actual place like a kitchen or restaurant.

      By doing this I have found a dozen of so that are just someone's house, that they registered on Google maps as a restaurant.

      It's easy to do if you know anything about digital marketing.

      There are no pictures of food inspection or anything on these new "restaurants" and typically there are no google reviews. Just reviews on Uber.

      @uber do this yourself before you argue and saw it's not true. This isn't a new issue, it has been posted on Reddit and other journalists have written about these fake restaurants.

      Just because you work at Uber and Uber is telling you how it's run does not mean there aren't people gaming the system.

      Do your own research and think for yourself.

  • It’s not fake, they’re called cloud kitchens/ghost kitchens. Think of it like a kitchen who cook food but there’s no actual restaurant to sit and eat. Effective for restaurant owners to save on cost.

  • I've noticed these too. It's like dropshipping. They're not separate restaurants at all, they're shell restaurants that actually order from another restaurant altogether. They steal the menus but organize them better and add really good pictures for each item. Prices are marked up a ton and they keep the difference.

      I have seen those as well, also ones where it's just someone's house.

      If you don't know the place google it and use street view.
