> so many of them are white-label goods these days, each sold by many fly-by-night brands I don't know the Polish market, but I'm not sure what you mean by all these fly-by-night brands. For white goods, you have Samsung, Bosch, Whirlpool, Zanussi, LG, Sharp, Siemans, Miele, etc. Did these go away or are not available in Poland? Do you guys not use Pro Test when researching white goods? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Consumer_Research_%26_Testing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Consumer_Researc... >My problem is with the other half of the equation - the virtual restaurants. Virtual restaurants are used by actual restaurants - not just ghost kitchens. Maybe you don't see it in your area, but actual restaurants do it for a few reasons: 1. Delivery companies limit the delivery distance based on the items on the menu. e.g. sushi must be fresh so you must order it from places close by. Curry keeps so you can deliver it further. Therefore to make sure most stuff is available at a distance, a restaurant can offer a subset for long range delivery. 2. Branding isn't [only] for you. Delivery companies will offer a discount from the eye watering 30% for exclusive listings. So if you setup a virtual restaurant - a few menu changes, and, hey presto, this is an exclusive listing with a discount.

> I don't know the Polish market, but I'm not sure what you mean by all these fly-by-night brands. For white goods (...) I meant white-label goods. It's when a producer churns out a product with no branding on it, to be bought by resellers, who put their own branding on it and pass it on as theirs. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White-label_product https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White-label_product. What I mean by "fly-by-night brands" is that there's a lot of these small resellers, and some resellers may sell the same product under several brand names. These brand names are often temporary - they get used for a year or two, and then a new name may be created (particularly after previous name starts showing up with bad reviews in search results). As for white goods, i.e. domestic appliances, we have every one of these brands you mention. I didn't know what Pro Test is, thanks for mentioning it!
