Have ghost kitchens gone too far?

>>21522266 (OP)
At what point is it fraud? Aren't the restaurants just doing this to radically inflate prices?

>order food
>get food

What’s the problem?

>>21522270
they do it to be 'competetive' in other food markets. The Chili's by me does one called 'it's just wings' to try to compete with a local Wing Stop and Buffalo Wild Wings

>>21522272
The problem is Denny's is pretending to be both a burger and grilled sandwich chain (Burger Den and The Meltdown, respectively) when it's fucking Dennys

price discrimination should be illegal
that includes the stupid apps with discounted prices

The post-obama era will be known as the grift economy, everyone from the lowliest cleaning lady to the biggest corporations in recorded history are all just trying to get one over the rest on a global scale

It's more intellectually honest this way. It's the same illiterate immigrant wagie following the same stupid simple corporate directions to heat up the same frozen slop off the back of the same truck from the same food distribution center, so what if it comes out of one building.

>>21522279
so? as long as the food is made in a hygienic kitchen who cares? i have no brand loyalty to dennys or any other chain

>>21522266 (OP)
make an order from all 15 brands and see if there's any variation

Idk man I try not to get too involved in ghost issues.

It's because the public perception has been corrupted, everyone thinks hard work and persistence is for suckers and quick get rich schemes is what smart people do. People, investors, everyone is impatient. They want results NOW. Working towards something that will give returns in a few years is not good enough anymore

>>21522266 (OP)
I discovered three restaurants i ordered from were actually the same kitchen. Pretty wild but i wouldn't call it illegal or even unethical to be honest. They deliver what i ask for and they do it well enough

>>21522421
Obsession

>>21522421
the currency is in $ and its in Victoria, im 99% sure its Australia

>>21522266 (OP)
cry of pain?
just drive and pick it up wagie

>>21522435
I live in Victoria and also Australia.
I wonder if they will deliver some melon balls

>>21522266 (OP)
ghost kitchens are unregulated and they’re a way to bypass health codes, and safety inspections. they’re basically gig workers just like the pajeet delivering you your food. it’s almost impossible to find a real restaurant in my city because they all use stock images, i’m basically forced to only eat at name recognizable restaurants, so i’m basically overlooking the local mom and pop restaurants. they’re killing the local food scene

>>21522279
OK, autist

>>21522406
> hygienic kitchen
Lol. Lmao. As a former wagie, I will tell you this. I’m literally the only person who washes my hands properly.
It’s pretty nasty how many wagie retards can’t be bothered to cover their mouth when they cough or at the very least not cough in the direction of the ingredients.

There are 5 icecream stores that are the same shitty icecream store and they all have different pricing for the same product (likely so people won't figure it out) but you can tell because mysteriously they are all the same distance away and I have never seen 5 icecream stores next to each other and they have the exact same flavors including some wierd flavors I haven't seen in other stores plus the ratings sections have people complaining that the icecream they got had a bag from another store
The biggest issue, beyond the fact that they take up 5 spots at the top of my results for 1 store, is that if apps don't even bother to check that 5 different icecream stores operate in the same building then what else are people getting away with? I think that originally you couldn't sell food if you didn't own a restaurant right by the sidewalk were people could come and go which it's a great standard but because of costs and limitations you could just have a kitchen on the back as long as you got a hallway for deliveries but even that is too much to ask for, nowadays people could "run" a "restaurant" on a second floor out of their own kitchen without anyone knowing

there's a thing called Wonder in NY that purports to have all kinds of great restaurants but it's pretty terrible, the di fara tastes nothing like di fara and although I've never been to the michelin thai place that they supposedly have, if that's the food the real place serves then michelin is donezo

>>21522659
I just go to places in person, even though I don't own a car.
On the rare occasion I do order delivery I make sure it's from a place I have visited irl and can trust.
Supporting the little guys is important though, just requires a bit of sussing out to find the gems.

>At what point is it fraud?
How is it fraud at all? If I have a building and run 10 legal businesses out of the building, what does it matter that I don't have 10 different buildings? Same as if I have a building and operate 15 restaurants out of it, whats the issue?

>>21522354
it will probably also be the shortest lived economy since it is essentially cancer.

How about not using the stupid app you fat abomination.
Like how fat are you to rely on an app that price gorges you and expects you to pay $10 for delivery plus tip for the jeet delivering you your nasty food that some wagie contaminated by coughing all over it.

Trillions of dollars being spent on wars and shit, meanwhile, minimum wage is $7.50, and people are making tens of thousands a month making brainrot on tiktok and pushing advertisements. I quadrupled my net worth just buying Tesla and Nvidia stock. You'd have to be a fucking retard to go through the modern humiliation ritual that most jobs force you into

>>21523508
>REREREREEEEEREEEEREEEEE YOUR FAT BECAUSE YOU ORDER FOOD SOMETIMES EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sure, let me just drive my car to a restaurant while its transmission is disassembled and laid out on a table because a soft, unskilled "computer engineer" (copy-pastes from chatgpt) thinks ordering food is something only obese retards like xim do.

yes? they can charge whatever they want. if you're dumb enough to pay for it, you get what you deserve.

if they do that they can work in a REAL ghost kitchen

>or at the very least not cough in the direction of the ingredients
I worked at an Italian restaurant in my town when I was a freshman in high school for a bit as a dishwasher, fml that job sucked. One of the fry cooks was a guy everyone called KK. I think he was just out of high school. Anyway, he would vape at his station and blow the vapor onto the ingredient bar all the time. Their chicken bites were excellent and I'd always get them for my free meal and he would always give me a massive order of them (supposed to be a dozen, he'd sometimes squeeze in over 20). He'd mix like 4 sauces in the perfect ratio and then blow his strawberry banana vape into the box and close it. I'd open it and it would spill out like a pink fog machine, shit was hilarious.

Nobody there was hygienic, the fucking manager would grab handfuls of waitress ass and then go handle plates, fingers still stinking like asshole and pussy juice.

Who says “mewling”?

Using delivery apps is retarded anyway. Imagine paying a premium for the privilege of having the blackest African in town handling your food.

You have to pay taxes on every type of restaurant and type of food service you provide.
Report these places to the IRS.
