Skylark plans its first delivery-only kitchen in central Tokyo
Skylark Holdings is considering its first ghost kitchen in central Tokyo to serve people living in high-rise apartments.
The company operates restaurant chains including Gusto and Bamiyan, which are mostly located in suburban areas.
The kitchen would prepare food for delivery and takeout only, with no dining area and orders placed online.
Skylark wants to offer delivery-friendly dishes from several of its restaurant chains through one kitchen.
The plan is linked to a government tax cut that would lower the tax on food and beverages from 8 percent to 1 percent in April, while the 10 percent rate for dining in would stay unchanged.
The company expects the change could encourage more people to eat at home, but it has not said when the kitchen will open.
