Weird, I've seen some of those exact names on delivery apps in Minneapolis.

Ghost kitchen chain?

Yep, there are 2 kinds of ghost kitchens I've seen:

1. Ones that pretend to be a real brand name but serve out of an unrelated restaurant's kitchen

2. Ones that are 100% fake chains made up just for delivery apps that are used across the country

Before I order on apps I first google for the name to make sure they have a real physical location in my city and it's not a scam (yes, I believe all ghost kitchens are scams).
