Dark kitchens
Don’t hide in the dark
The growth of the take-away and delivery market has been rapid and is set to continue when normal business resumes. Whether you class yourself as a dark kitchen, cloud kitchen, virtual brand or ghost kitchen, we are ready to support you in this exciting sector.
What matters to you
Efficient dark kitchen deliveries through a one stop shop
We pride ourselves on our consolidated delivery service. This means that we compile all categories – including fresh, ambient, frozen, wholesale meat and alcohol – onto one lorry. So you only have to deal with one invoice, and one supplier drop off for ease and speed.
Creating your dark kitchen concept menu
Burgers, pizza, vegan, Japanese, Indian – whatever your exciting menu theme we have the product range to support. Through our extensive packaging range we will help you select the right packaging for the right dish to ensure your menu travels well.
Supporting your growth plans
By looking to the future, supporting innovators, analysing consumer food trends and investing in technology, we will support your growth plans. We will bring you everything from market insights, contactless deliveries, to sign on glass, and with seamless online ordering, our Bidfood Direct shopping portal makes placing your order easy.
Unlocking the latest trends
We will help you understand the latest consumer and market trends and what these mean for your business so you can be one step ahead. Listen to our podcasts or read our 2025 food trends report for the latest stories.
