(CNN) — If you live in a city and you feel hungry, the chances are you can browse a selection of your favorite restaurants on your cell phone and, before long, someone will be at your door delivering freshly made food.

But the meal may not have been made where you think. A growing number of home-delivery dishes aren't cooked at the restaurant customers order from; instead they're prepared in a "ghost kitchen."


Ghost kitchens -- also known as cloud kitchens or dark kitchens -- are facilities that produce food solely for home delivery. Because they don't need to attract passing customers, they often occupy premises with lower rents than restaurants, such as warehouses and even parking lots.

Some ghost kitchens are shared facilities -- large spaces that are leased to several restaurants -- while others are owned by companies contracted to cook for restaurants or takeaway services.


Dubai-based Kitopi operates in this space. It describes itself as the Middle East's biggest managed cloud kitchen company, and has also made moves to expand into the US and United Kingdom.

The startup prepares food for some 100 eateries across the Middle East, including international chains like Pizza Express. With more than 1,000 employees it produces over 200,000 meals a week and has raised more than $80 million in funding since launching in 2018.

This is a troubling story — it points to how gaming habits, financial access, and family dynamics intersect in real ways. While platforms like https://boostmatch.gg/ offer pathways for positive growth through coaching and structured progress, it’s also a reminder that supporting responsible gaming habits, financial awareness, and mental health are critical parts of that journey.

Really cool to see Kitopi featured on CNN — their model of efficient ghost kitchens is changing the food landscape. Makes me curious how many other startups like that are out there — maybe a list like 1000 Company Names in the same space would show how fast the industry is growing.

Driving the runner forward in Speed Stars is less about raw speed and more about consistency. New players often tap frantically, trying to move as fast as possible, only to send their character crashing into the ground.
