ChefReady to launch new ghost kitchen in Denver

Thomas Concannon, who worked in the industry at various restaurants for more than 30 years before launching Old School Heros, said he added a stove, an oven and a couple of deli slicers to his kitchen space at ChefReady.

“We think our type of concept is perfect for the virtual kitchen model because of its simplicity,” he said.

He said he was attracted to the space because of low start-up costs, as well as the reduced ongoing operating costs — “just back-of-house inventory, equipment and kitchen staff. That makes this model very appealing for a startup or experimental concept,” he said.
