Hey there friends! Just a thing I’ve learned recently, ghost kitchens are becoming more of a thing. They can be a good thing but right now a lot of people looking for fast money are involved. People who are looking to cut corners and risk cross contamination and the like. Or just letting a big corporate chain act like a mom and pop shop to get your money.
Whenever you order out from uber eats, doordash, or the like, give the address of the place a little google search. If they don’t have a physical location be skeptical. They aren’t all bad, but largely they’re a risky get rich quick scheme and your money is better spent at a local spot.

Ghost In The Machine
Leave it to human ingenuity. Or perhaps I should say corporate genius. It seems that for every process, law, or method, there is a hack to work around it. Never mind that things were probably good enough the way they were. It’s just that, in our zeal to have an edge over others, we look for the loopholes.
Like all of the ghost kitchens and virtual brands we have discussed earlier this term. While I lauded them early—and correctly so—for leveraging their physical locations so they could test out new concepts and menu items on Uber Eats, DoorDash, and others, it has now become apparent that some of these players have simply duplicated their menus and slapped on a different brand name just so it could grab another line on the list of restaurants we see on our phones.
And now Uber Eats is fighting back, saying that in order to get those multiple listings, the virtual brand must have at least a 60% different menu. Who would have thought it would all come down to this?
But it is a good response from Uber Eats, because they have been taken advantage of in all this by those restaurants and ghost kitchens—which we define as an establishment with no indoor seating, and often located in an industrial park or even parking lot—who are trying to simply boost their odds of making online sales.
Whoa. That may very well qualify as the longest sentence I have written this semester. But I digress.
Tumblr media
It is fair conclusion jumping to agree that the kitchens being accused of such chicanery are just being smart. They can try different price points, names, and a slew of other marketing variables, without having to actually create new products. And they are betting that most consumers will never notice. Just imagine, though, a Little Caesars—for example—also selling Bigga Pizza Pies, but they all come out of the same oven with the same crust, sauce, mozzarella, and toppings. Could you tell? And would you even care?

Uber Eats, et al., all want to make money, to be fair, but they do not want their service to be scammed like this. Getting two listings is little different form somehow managing to wrangle two display ads in a newspaper when you bought one, or any number of other of duplicative examples.
But wait, there’s more! Uber is also raising the bar on those it does list, requiring each establishment to have at least a 4.3 out of 5 rating on their app, have fewer than five-percent of orders canceled, and have fewer than five-percent delivery and order errors.
Thus far, Uber has removed more than 5000 entities it attests are simply clones of their parent, finding, in one instance, that a New York deli had 14 such clones under its umbrella. Can you imagine submitting 14 resumes for a job, each with a different name, but the person were the same? Shakespeare said a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, but that doesn’t work so well in job hunting or restaurant listings.
Uber says, though, it counts 40,000 virtual listings. Its internal police department is going to have its hands full enforcing its latest policy decision.
I know. You’ve probably already started thinking of a new hack in the wake of Uber clamping down. Why not simply give different names and/or plating variations so that the items are still pretty much the same, but look different on your screen? That would likely be easy. Imagine a meal of the Monster Burger and French Fries also being listed under a different brand as the Hamburger Monstre and pomme frites. Pretty much the same thing, but one sounds so cosmopolitan and worldly.
I’m pretty sure the ghost kitchens are already preparing their workarounds, because that’s the way we all roll. The spoils go to those who can hack the best. Meanwhile, just be careful placing your food orders. You might just be a victim as well. I can see that international burger fetching a higher price tag if only because it uses French words.
And I can imagine you looking like a ghost when you find out you’ve been duped, too.

Ghost Kitchen (brought to you by criminal entrepreneur, Red Hood)
Danny’s got the easiest job in Gotham.
He works as a fry cook at a shoddily-run, independent burger joint. Hardly anyone comes in, despite prices being criminally low, and portions insanely large, and while the manager looks like the average tough-as-nails ex-con, he lets Danny mess around in the kitchen whenever the place is empty. (Which is often. This place has to be the city’s hidden gem or something!)
Mr. Manager’s the only one ever there with Danny, except for sometimes when his buddies come over to smoke and play cards. Danny would find it shady, except part of his job is not to ask questions. Literally, he was told during the interview.
(It was a weird interview. Why would they need to hire someone who’s been in a gunfight before? Like, he has, but Gotham’s idea of “hirable qualities” is so bizarre.)
So instead he whips up some killer burgers with the frozen ingredients, and basks in the praise as the guys tell him he shouldn’t have, he does too much for this joint, ain’t that friendly!
Now, Danny’s a chef on the newer side. As a teen he’d preferred the look of Nasty Burger over anything with Michelin stars, and he only really took up cooking after Jazz moved out for college. But just like ecto-exposure used to turn the groceries sentient, Danny’s low-level ecto signature imbues all his food with something historically haunted Gothamites just love! And Danny’s never been one to half-ass a job when it makes people happy.
With fresher produce, real meat, Danny’s sure he can take his dishes to the next level. It takes a couple months of badgering, but his manager finally agrees to contact the mysterious store owner, who keeps the place going, despite profits Danny knows have to be in the red.
Danny spends the morning prepping. He pours his heart into his food, eager to impress. The big boss will be here soon, and he wants to prove that despite the dangerous location, this place has real potential!
It isn’t until the Red Hood shows up that Danny realizes he’s been working for a money laundering scheme.

What is the future of franchise business in India?
INTRODUCTION:
The idea of franchising has established itself and expanded rapidly over time in the vibrant Indian business environment. India has seen a boom in franchise business prospects, demonstrating great potential for development and innovation. The franchise business model has altered both consumer experiences and how entrepreneurs conduct their businesses. This blog explores the enticing future of franchise business opportunities in India, looking at the major drivers promoting this expansion and any foreseeable difficulties.
The Rising Tide of Franchise Business Opportunities in India
With the introduction of numerous franchise models in a variety of industries, including food and beverage, retail, education, healthcare, and more, the Indian business environment has seen a remarkable evolution. The allure of franchising rests in the fact that it benefits both parties; while franchisees receive access to tried-and-true business models and support, franchisors broaden the reach of their brands. The franchise business model in India has reached new heights because to this win-win arrangement.
Is Franchise Business Going to Be Profitable in 2023?
Given India's enormous propensity and skill set, the franchise business' future in India in 2023 may have a stronger impact on the performance of franchise enterprises in 2023. The ability of newer and more sophisticated methodologies, technologies, strategies, and business model restructuring to adapt to newer and more sophisticated methodologies, technologies, and strategies may help the franchise industry in India recover. The aforementioned ideas can have a big impact on the expansion of franchise business opportunities as well as a bigger impact on the economy of the country. All of this might serve as a springboard for greater achievement and wealth.
In the future, franchises might profit from a range of business tools and practical marketing techniques. Greater resilience and better adaptive strategies for coping with economic changes may result from having easier access to funds and closely monitoring changing market patterns.
You should speak with an expert before making a decision if you want to find a low-cost franchise with high profit margins. You must pick a reputable, well-known brand to maximize your rewards. It is advised that you identify your hobbies and skills before starting a franchise with any firm. Furthermore, all factors should be given equal weight, including market trends, legality, business location, investment, franchise fee, and ROI.

Local-Global Balance: - It is possible to achieve more acceptance and relevance by balancing brand consistency with localization.
Collaborative Ecosystem: - Fostering community growth allows franchisees to exchange ideas and best practices.
