This research discusses the operational mechanisms, workforce consequences, and consumer attitudes toward ghost kitchens, which operate strictly for delivery purposes without having a traditional dining area, as well as the literature used between the years 2007 to 2024. The labor standards and compliance, as most ghost kitchens are built upon gig economy workers who toil in challenging circumstances. Additionally, the study examines consumer perception of this new phenomenon of dining and its potential for transforming culinary careers. Its findings indicate that while ghost kitchens open avenues for creativity in culinary arts and expansion of the marketplace, it simultaneously necessitates a readjustment in labor norms and consumer awareness. Given the anticipated high growth rate for the ghost kitchen market in the next years, it is significant that food service sector stakeholders grasp these dynamics. 2025 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
