Build, launch, and scale your cloud kitchen — the right way. Ashish Srivastava is Lucknow's most experienced F&B consultant, helping entrepreneurs set up profitable delivery-first kitchens from scratch.
The cloud kitchen model looks simple: rent a small kitchen, list on Zomato and Swiggy, and orders flow in. In practice, over 60% of cloud kitchens in Tier-2 cities like Lucknow close within 12 months — due to wrong menu mix, margin miscalculation, poor platform strategy, or operational blind spots.
