Just rent a kitchen and don't have a order-in option. I'm sure many restaurants do this, but you'd think it would be way more widespread.

This is incredibly common. According to this slop it's a nearly $100B industry already.

It's extremely common. I drive by one of these factory kitchens on my way home from work.

You can also tell when restaurants on DoorDash are from these kinds of places. They tend to re-use the same images of food.

I kind of wish there was a way to access these kind of restaurants that wasn't delivery. I'd be curious to be able to show up to the counter of some cloud kitchen and have like five different restaurants to choose from...I guess this is what they call a food truck park...

You can order pickup from them within delivery apps. There are a bunch of them operating on 6th street - multiple virtual brands served from some dated restaurant's kitchen. You walk into a cafe or restaurant with a different name/menu/branding and pickup your food.
