Makes perfect sense Shaf. There is a growing demand for high quality dining delivered in the comfort of your own home. I only see this market exploding in the future.

I have a few dark kitchens that I’m renting at extortionate costs but the question I want to ask is what license do I need to set up my own

[@mattwoodroffe2366]

As a chef with chronic anxiety, this sounds amazing!

[@historythen]

I have been looking at the concept for a while now to help expand my existing business. I am at a loss when it comes to beating the commission set by the major players - Just Eat, Deliveroo and Uber Eats. 30% means that volume is key. Any advice?

[@JR-jj2dh]

Another good video. Very interesting and keen to hear more on this topic. Are you planning to launch your own restaurant to take up part of your kitchen space or acting solely as a landlord? To what degree will the kitchens be turnkey ? Are you expecting to go head to head with Travis K in your chosen locations!? Best Wishes as always 💪🏼👍🏼

Deliveroo do this in Nottingham they buy up units themsleves and rent it out to the sites users. Looked at a unit someone was selling that was rented to them. They did it as close as it was close to the student area.

[@chosenjuan2599]

checkout united kitchens their orders are put on a conveyor belt to the reception where the receptionist had the food over to the driver. United kitchens have cut a deal with online food companies so people can order multiple items from different restaurants under one delivery charge. They even have some seats in the front so people can order through the apps and pickup and sitdown. They charge rent and take a percentage of profits.

[@ShafRasulWealth]

ChosenJuan Thank you for the feedback.😉 I will check them out

[@mohlini1]

Hi Shaf. Great video. What is the expected rental yield on this business? Separately, what are the expected costs on kitchen installation for a standard 20sq ft kitchen? I reached out to one and it was not making economic sense to me . like your thoughts. Thanks

[@mohlini1]

typo meant 20 sq m kitchen

Hi Shaf, I’ve been working on another hack to this for a while but have not had the networks to get this idea off my chest. I was hoping to trial the idea with a restaurant, but then covid haha. Any tips on networking?

Shaf Rasul thanks Shaf, just posted it. Hope you and family are well and staying safe. Thanks for all your helpful information during this period. Giving my passion and persistence with this idea a lot more direction as I work to refine it over lockdown.

[@marcuswatmough571]

Great video as usual Shaf. Who kits the kitchen out, you or the tenant? Specs/requirements would be very different business to business e.g Asian food is mainly prepared on ranges, whereas pizza is more prep area and ovens. Would you kit it out very basically to meet hygiene regs etc. and then down to the tenant to fit their own equipment to suit their needs? Interested to hear your thoughts. Great concept 👍🏻

I randomly found your channel from your exposure of property scams on youtube. Your content is really insightful, it's rare to see someone giving out content for free and actually has the business acumen to back it up and isn't selling a dream. As a professional chef i wish i had to capital to set this up. There are so many niches to go into, and millennials do everything on their phones and this is only going to get bigger. I understand as well that this is a huge trend in china due to their smartphone reliance as well. Any advice on how to fund such a venture Shaf?

[@mentalframer]

But can you give advice on setting up and supplying the kitchen? I want to do what you are doing not use the kitchen but stetting up and making it available! What sort of equipment and how much? Youve already explained the premises required, but what do you estimate for a complete fit out for one of the kitchens. I take it you would need different types of fit outs for different types of food. Pizza Indian Chinese all use different cooking equipment! Clear practical advice please.

[@JR-jj2dh]

Hi Miker, Good questions :) How much are you budgeting for such a venture? Have you got capital to invest or have a lender in place ? Best Wishes

[@mentalframer]

I have cash available, I think it was mentioned in a previous comment in on of Shafs videos that a figure of £100k would be required.

Hi shaf I own a commercial unit. Would it be wise to install 8 kitchens in there and let each one out individually and charge them a flat rate that also includes all the bills

[@ldn876]

Like a HMO for commercial kitchens. Is the contracts flexible from month to month

[@superwhites5870]

LDN 876 suppose you could call it a hmo but I wouldn’t do it on a flexible term we own Homs and we sign them in for 6 months

[@ldn876]

@@superwhites5870 I think this is a fantastic idea. How Are you doing in this current times? Are your tenants booming and you have no rent arrears? This is a recession proof business!

[@superwhites5870]

LDN 876 we are good at the minute the hmo was let to a large construction company but they vacated 2 weeks ago but it has been let solid for 14 months so not to concerned and we have a house to our letting agent today and he already has 2 interested families and all other tenants are paying so no problems there. The property is a side business tho and outlet main business which re furbs care homes,council houses amongst other stuff had to shut down over night so that is a little worrying at the minute

Hi Shaf, how did you get on with obtaining planning permission for this venture, as presume it required change of use? Thanks for all the time you put into your content. I relocated to Edinburgh pre-lockdown, if there are any business / property meets you can recommend, I'd value your opinion on what is worth getting involved with locally once we're back to "normal" Many Thanks, Adam

For anyone considering doing the same, remember if you are in any decent sized town or city you’ll be competing with Travis Kalanick & Amazon soon enough....! 😅

[@ShafRasulWealth]

J R Thank you for the feedback.😉Fair point!

[@kaya051285]

The problem is the apps will take every single penny of profit from these virtual restaurants in due course. It's better to have a normal restaurant or take away and offer the option for delivery either via your own drivers or via these apps or best of all collection by the customer which keeps costs down for everyone (no driver to pay no app to pay 30% to etc)

[@projectswipe8804]

Your own driver ends up taking driver well over that with all the other costs included, unless you have spent millions like dominos it will be hard to have your own dedicated delivery fleet.

[@kaya051285]

@@projectswipe8804 You don't need your own dedicated delivery fleet. Lots of takeaways use the local taxi company (one takeaway in town has a taxi rank just outside it so they just put it in the taxi when it's done no waiting super fast delivery and they just pay the £4-5 delivery cost directly to the taxi driver) You could even just use Uber and pay the Uber driver the £5-6 delivery cost rather than use Uber eats or just eat and pay 25-30% on top!! Plus competition in this space is fierce because a lot of small restaurant and takeaway owners are not good business people. Plus most the apps don't allow you to charge more on the app than inside the shop. So their fee if 25-30% is directly out of gross profits. In a lot of cases I'd wager if the business owner sat down and truely costed their app deliveries they'd find they are making zero or even negative net profit from that side of the business but they just don't realise it
