Other subject possible known as a ghost restaurant?

@Froid: Thanks for adding to this article. To me, the content, however, looks to be about a somewhat different concept. The subject of this article is a restaurant which interacts with customers only through delivery. It looks like the NBC source is more about restaurants which operate under different names, regardless of whether they have an actual storefront/dining room. Related, but perhaps different. If there's more than just the NBC source (the other blog doesn't look like WP:RS), maybe there's a different concept or a way to deal with it in a dedicated section. The negative connotations, for example, from that concept shouldn't be used to refer to this one, though. Not to say there aren't negative connotations, but it's talking about something different here. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 05:29, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I understand your point, but believe this negative connotation is a subsegment of legitimate ghost restaurants. Therefore, taking your concern into account, I moved the content to the end of the "Ghost restaurant" article and reworded it to make it clear the negative press was about a particular subsegment.

Merge proposal

I propose merging Ghost kitchen with this article, as I under the impression that "ghost kitchen" and "ghost restaurant" are synonyms or at least similar. I think that the two should be merged to provide a single, organized entry for food preparation facilities that do not have sit-in or dining arrangements, and operate wholly by delivery service.Mikkelangel (talk) 23:40, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
