It does seem like the operator is more of a line cook than a restaurant owner. Where it could be valuable is for folks looking to test recipes and menus on customers before opening a brick and mortar. The delivery aspect is going to greatly impact quality though and may not translate well to a sit-down restaurant anyway.

It's an interesting point about the drivers. It does make sense to make it first in/first out as the food is ready.

It makes perfect sense for food trucks that want to do nighttime delivery.

Commissary/co-op kitchens already accomplish this, without wrecking the food trucks themselves. In places where trucks are already common, cloud kitchens do nothing but raise rents on the same spaces that trucks already try to afford.

The data mining angles of cloud kitchens, particularly around neighborhood demographics and real estate valuation, need much more critical examination than they're getting.
