Smart Kitchens

What Smart Kitchens does

Smart Kitchens operates commercially as Booh! Food, an independent network of shared professional kitchens and bakeries founded in 2020 in Málaga, Spain. The company provides modular, semi-equipped kitchen spaces to chefs, gastronomic brands, and artisan food producers (obradores) under a shared activity license, which removes the need for individual permits and materially lowers the cost and time required to launch or scale a food brand. As of the most recent data, Booh! Food operates 31 kitchens across four Spanish cities (Málaga, Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia) and hosts more than 40 operators on its network.

The core technology is operational rather than software-led: a centralized management system covering supplies, maintenance, waste, and utilities, combined with a fintech integration through Revolut Business that powers automated monthly billing, expense tracking, and loyalty bonuses. In 2025 the company launched "Booh! Subscription Kitchen," billed as the first subscription-based professional kitchen model in Europe, enabling operators to activate a kitchen within 24 hours without deposits or long-term commitments. Revenue is generated through recurring monthly subscriptions and kitchen rental fees on an all-inclusive basis (rental, supplies, cleaning, maintenance, technical support).

The go-to-market is sales-led and direct: the website (dark-kitchens-boohfood.com), SEO-optimized Spanish/English pages, and a contact form feeding [email protected] target chefs, gastronomic brands, and food producers primarily in Southern Europe. Booh! Food is privately held, actively raising capital, and pursuing an aggressive international expansion roadmap targeting Portugal, Italy (Turin in 2025), France, and Belgium by 2026–2027, with internal targets of 120+ active kitchens, 300K€ MRR by 2026, and >1M€ EBITDA by 2027.

Subscription Kitchen) with integrated Revolut Business payments. The platform is currently operational across four locations in Spain (Málaga, Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia) with expansion planned to Portugal, Italy, France, and Belgium.

Direct peers

• Kitchen United: US-based multi-brand shared kitchen operator with Mixology commissary and professional kitchen centers. Direct comparable to Booh!'s multi-operator shared kitchen concept.
• FoodStars: UK-based shared commercial kitchen operator renting modular kitchen units to food brands and producers under flexible subscription terms. Directly comparable subscription-based kitchen rental model.
• REEF Technology: Operator of urban ghost kitchens and neighborhood kitchens out of repurposed real estate (parking garages, retail). Comparable asset-light shared-kitchen model targeting urban delivery operators.
• CloudKitchens: Travis Kalanick-backed ghost kitchen infrastructure operator renting modular delivery-only kitchen spaces to food brands globally. Closest direct competitor to Booh!'s shared professional kitchen rental model.
• Zuul Kitchens: US ghost kitchen operator offering turnkey, licensed commercial kitchen space for delivery-only restaurant brands. Comparable model targeting chefs and virtual brands without upfront build-out.
• Deliveroo Editions: Deliveroo's owned dark-kitchen network in the UK and Europe. Direct peer in shared kitchen infrastructure, though operated by an incumbent marketplace rather than an independent operator.

Emerging players

• Taster: Paris-based delivery-only restaurant brand operator with proprietary dark kitchen infrastructure across European cities. Comparable European dark-kitchen operator with both brand and infrastructure layers.
• Keatz: European (German/Portuguese) cloud-kitchen operator with delivery-only restaurant concepts. Comparable European peer with overlapping operator brand model, though currently more concept-operator than pure infrastructure.
• Cookonnect: US-based software and marketplace platform connecting food entrepreneurs with shared commercial kitchens. Comparable operator-enablement layer, though focused on software rather than owned infrastructure.

Broad incumbents

• Uber Eats (Uber Direct / dark kitchens): Global food delivery marketplace that has piloted ghost kitchen concepts and integrations. Broader incumbent with adjacent dark-kitchen initiatives and far larger scale than Booh!.
