City Storage Systems (CSS) operates in the online food delivery space with two main efforts: CloudKitchens, which builds ghost kitchens in high-demand delivery areas to support restaurant delivery operations, and Otter, a SaaS platform that consolidates and manages a restaurant’s online delivery activities through a single interface. CSS earns revenue from real estate investments in ghost kitchens and subscription fees for Otter. Compared to competitors, CSS combines physical kitchen infrastructure with an integrated software solution, enabling restaurants to expand delivery capacity while streamlining ordering, menus, and operations across multiple delivery platforms. The company’s goal is to help restaurants improve delivery service and operational efficiency, ultimately delivering better, more affordable, and higher-quality food options to end customers.

Travis Kalanick unveils robotics firm Atoms after 8 years in stealth mode

Travis Kalanick has unveiled Atoms, a robotics company for food, mining and transport industries, after operating in stealth mode for eight years. The venture emerged from his real estate company City Storage Systems, which owns ghost-kitchen operator CloudKitchens. Kalanick, ousted as Uber CEO in 2017, said the aim is to make prepared meal delivery so efficient it approaches grocery store costs. He is also acquiring Pronto, a self-driving startup for industrial sites founded by former Uber colleague Anthony Levandowski, with backing from Uber. Operating in stealth meant thousands of employees couldn't list the company on LinkedIn profiles. However, Kalanick said this approach attracts builders rather than those seeking fame, fostering "a culture of people that want to build and do not need to be famous".
