JustKitchen operates delivery-only "ghost" kitchens using a hub-and-spoke model where ingredients are prepared centrally and finished at spoke kitchens for third-party delivery. The company runs more than a dozen proprietary brands and partners with restaurants such as Smith & Wollensky and TGI Fridays. Founded in 2019 and based in Taiwan, JustKitchen plans to grow to 15 locations in Taiwan and expand to U.S. West Coast cities this year, with entry to the Philippines and Singapore planned and Canada and other Asia‑Pacific markets targeted next year. In the U.S. it will employ local vendors and established supply chains rather than its hub-and-spoke model. The company says it will use new funding for expansion, software development, brand acquisition and development, and general corporate purposes. The articles do not disclose revenue or user metrics. JustKitchen is a Taiwan-based cloud kitchen operator founded in June 2019 with a central kitchen in Neihu and more than 10 satellite kitchens. It operates a hub-and-spoke model where the central kitchen readies ingredients that satellite kitchens assemble or reheat, enabling 3–5 minute order compilation and most deliveries within 20 minutes. The company runs six virtual home brands and partners with seven chain stores, offering menu creation and co-branding for traditional F&B brands. Management raised an undisclosed pre-seed round from accelerator SparkLabs Taipei after attending its demo day in March. JustKitchen plans to open a second central kitchen, expand to 15 satellite kitchens and add 12 restaurant brands by 2021 and aims to pursue international expansion in 2022. The team is exploring partnerships with kitchenware suppliers to scale and to position cloud kitchens as co-working spaces for chefs, reducing restaurants' burdens like storage, purchasing, and cleaning.
