Kitchen United

Kitchen United was an American ghost kitchen company based in Pasadena, California, providing equipped professional kitchen space to restaurants for the preparation of delivery-only meals. The company was acquired by SBE Entertainment Group in 2023.
It allowed brick-and-mortar restaurants to expand their food delivery business without adding extra staff or space and allows the creation of restaurants with no dine-in service. In addition to commercial kitchen space, it provides back of house automation and ordering software that accommodates the main delivery services.
