2022 Central Kitchen Report

A central kitchen – also known as a commissary kitchen – is an internal facility that supplies restaurant branches under a single business with ingredients or items that will be used or sold at each location.

This report focuses on central kitchens that also rent space to emerging businesses, food trucks, mobile food carts, and smaller restaurants without capacity to store and prep large quantities of food. It reflects the rapid changes that have occurred in this channel with the explosion of centralized production and delivery.
