Ghost Kitchen vs Virtual Village

Wed, 30 Mar 2022 21:11:09 -0700

Since we first began experimenting with this business model a few years ago it has been an exciting journey. The more we talk about this space and learn about the multitude of features and benefits and how it can be implemented, we have come to realize the potential is huge for our Boutique Foodies, Restaurants, Mobile Vendors, Cottage industry folks, and all of our Creatives! But the model which we are proposing is much different than what is being created in various neighborhoods throughout the country. Those Cloud or Ghost Kitchen models might bring the consumer an added value sometimes, but they surely do not help the local Mobile Food Purveyors, Cafes, Restaurants, Caffeterias, or even a roaming food Cart businesses. If anything, they hurt these businesses and the communities they are in.

This is why at Foodie Village we have a similar but very different model we are building. A solution to help communities thrive especially as we all participate in this Pandemic Pivot. We are creating the first ever Foodie Ventures VIRTUAL VILLAGE™ and plan to do this within a variety of different neighborhoods. We are establishing some very big opportunities with this business model and by partnering with a Virtual Village enterprise within a local neighborhood we bring added value with a strong collection of benefits to not just support Mobile Food Vendors but these local eateries as well. To keep it simple, our business plan supports your local restaurants, cafes, eateries and coffee shops along with Food Trucks, Mobile Carts and even Popups.

If you are a serious local food entrepreneur with a Mobile food business or brick'n'motar Restaurant of any type we are poised to help you build your business by creating and reinventing exciting spaces in and around different neighborhoods or under-used locations. Some of these locations are known as "Deal Real Estate" and can sometimes be...Read More
