Dark kitchens are not inherently evil. They can do good as well as evil. They sprang from covid when restaurant take outs were overwhelmed with demand = specialty take out only - often with zero street presence. AKA Dark Kitchens. The bad is dark copy kitchens that copy a menu and grab orders, diverted via Yelp etc, cook and deliver. As long they do good work they fly under the radar. I have read of a few of these. Customer has no idea and as long as they are happy they will carry on. Occasionally genuine restaurants find that yelp or ?? have hijacked part of their business. I have read of a few of these and the lawsuits they generate.
