Opportunity:The Challenge

“The challenge is to engineer a preparation &

transportation network, leveraging technologies, to

be cost effective, fast, reliable & consistently on-

time.”

Opportunity :Identified Need

“Digital technologies, led by smartphones and tablets, are fueling an even greater push for immediacy” 1

• Customers have a growing need for simplifying their lives with quick, reliable, varied & high quality/restaurant dining at home.

• Market shift toward delivery/dine-at-home in lieu of restaurant ‘dining-in.’

• An ‘on-demand’ and ‘right-on-time’ prep & delivery network is needed to realize the full potential of online delivery and be an increasing benefit to customers.

• Established restaurants not already offering delivery, including chains (fast-food & casual,) will need to add delivery service that will also preserve current operations and work-flow.

Concept Objectives

• Elevate variety & quality of delivery meals, nationwide, through Commercial Kitchen ‘Delivery-Only’ Centers equipped with multiple commercial kitchens.

• Have multiple cuisines ordered, prepped & delivered from multiple operators at a single location, able to arrive at a destination at the same time.

• Restaurant ‘dine-in’ quality experience for delivery at-home.

• Create a simple, time-effective mechanism to restore family mealtimes respectful of customer’s tight schedules.

• Drive delivery market by offering more options at better quality that are fast & convenient. “Dining-in to be the new dining-out.”

“Restaurant Dine-In Quality at Home”

Establish ‘Delivery-Only’ restaurants optimized for prep & delivery.

Concept Highlights & Features :Overview

• Pre-designed, efficient & dedicated-function buildings for commercial cooking of multiple operators/cuisines.

• Multiple cuisines at one location for single-point order/delivery to single-point destination so different family members can order different food types and all can order/enjoy together.

• ‘Economy-of-scale’ buildings with shared data systems, shared variable speed kitchen hood exhaust system, shared variable speed make-up air systems, shared restrooms, shared staging/receiving & parking.

• Lowered initial cost of startup for new restaurant owners due to optimized buildings specifically designed for commercial kitchens & delivery.

ENGINEERED

SYSTEMS

Concept Highlights & Features :Overview

• Instead of disrupting established ‘dine-in’ workflow with added high-volume delivery, create satellite locations optimized for preparation & distribution with shared delivery/transportation networks.

• Simplified solution / opportunity for large national chains to enter into delivery service with ‘delivery-only’ satellite locations.

• Include new restaurants, relocation of existing restaurants & establishing satellite restaurants for ‘delivery-only.’

• Customizable buildings to accommodate local codes, land requirements & space constraints.
