Uber Is Testing a Program in Paris, Where it Rents Kitchen Space to Restaurants Using Its Food-Delivery App

Uber is expanding its services in Paris past the ride-share & delivery and moving into the rentable kitchen space. This is especially drawing an audience of upcoming chefs who cannot afford their own cooking space, while offering space to prep food and cut costs of operating a restaurant/kitchen.

While food delivery services focus on the convenience of the eater, Uber is taking a wider view to think about the cook. This balance of providing a platform for both the cook and eater creates an ecosystem of meeting a demand with a convenient supply with the natural tie in between food and kitchen.

We’re seeing that kitchen rental is becoming more prominent especially with a competitor founded by former Uber CEO, CloudKitchens. This is a cost efficient way for popular restaurants to expand reach to areas & consumers outside their immediate radius, further increasing competition.  We could also see an increase from private catering chefs to deliver offerings on an increased scale.
