Eccie Newton, co-founder and CEO of Karma Kitchen, addresses some of the misconceptions surrounding dark kitchens, explains how the sites are “closer to a co-working space” and shares ways to minimise courier traffic in local areas.
Newton co-founded Karma Kitchen with her sister Gini in 2018 after struggling to find kitchen space for their corporate catering delivery company. The London-based firm buys industrial real estate in “underutilised areas” and converts them into multi-use kitchen spaces for food businesses. In 2020, the startup raised £252m from investors and today it has four operational dark kitchens – also known as ghost kitchens - with six more under construction.
