Catapult Concepts

Operates virtual kitchens to monetize space

Overview

Catapult Concepts partners with independent restaurants to turn their existing kitchens, equipment, and staff into virtual kitchen spaces that fulfill online delivery orders. It collaborates with local eateries to provide menu concepts, marketing, and operational support, enabling the restaurants to expand their menu and reach customers through platforms like DoorDash and UberEats. The service uses a revenue-sharing model from online orders fulfilled via the virtual kitchen, letting restaurants increase income without heavy upfront investments. Unlike competitors that may focus on standalone ghost kitchens or platforms alone, Catapult combines menu development, marketing, and hands-on operations support to help partners efficiently utilize resources and grow takeout and delivery revenue. The company’s goal is to help independent restaurants maximize revenue streams and profitability by leveraging their existing assets and the growing online food-delivery market.
