UK restaurant sector in March 2022
Restaurants face food, wage and energy inflation, while real household
incomes are falling. Around 700 chain restaurants have closed since
March 2020, according to the Local Data Company (LDC), which
monitors chain restaurants. The Restaurant Group,
which took over Frankie & Benny’s, Garfunkel’s and Chiquito and Casual Dining Group, 5
which took over Café Rouge and Bella Italia, have now closed dozens of their restaurants.
However, small independent restaurants have stepped into the gaps
left by the chains. The number of local restaurants has increased by
3.7% (888) since March 2020, according to LDC. Cheaper rents have
made it easier for entrepreneurs to start new
restaurant businesses. 10

Extract B
The growth of dark kitchens
Imagine a restaurant. Remove the tables, customers and restaurant
employees. Replace these with an app and you have a dark kitchen.
Dark kitchens are designed exclusively for efficiency; to cook, pack and
deliver takeaway meals as quickly as possible. The idea is
they help existing restaurant chains reach customers further away from their restaurants,

which in turn do not become too busy.
There has been substantial growth in the number of dark kitchens particularly in London,
Manchester and Leeds. They are industrial-scale kitchens, located in
warehouses in low-cost areas. While Food Stars, owned by Los
Angeles based CloudKitchens, is the
largest operator of dark kitchens in the UK, another multinational Deliveroo launched 10
Deliveroo Editions rentable kitchens in 2017. In addition, Dishoom, Rosa’s Thai, Five Guys
and Chinatown dim sum restaurant, Tao Tao Ju, have all entered this market.

However, there have been growing concerns about dark kitchen sites
being located close to residential areas. These concerns often relate to
abuse from delivery drivers
and finding ingredients, including raw meat, dumped in the street. There have also 15
been concerns about poor working conditions and low pay for
employees in these dark kitchens.
