Cloud kitchens, also known as ghost kitchens or virtual kitchens, have revolutionized the food service industry by focusing exclusively on delivery and takeaway services without a traditional dine-in facility. This innovative model requires unique operational controls, hygiene standards, regulatory adherence, and efficiency measures that differ from conventional restaurants. As the cloud kitchen market experiences exponential growth worldwide, there is an increasing demand for qualified professionals who can conduct thorough audits to evaluate kitchen operations, compliance with food safety regulations, and overall business performance.
