Cloud kitchens are referred to as ghost kitchens, shadow kitchens, virtual, or dark kitchens. In any case, the essential idea is as yet the equivalent. Eateries have no physical space and are present online. Meals can be requested through food aggregator applications or through the eatery's own application, yet the eateries themselves don't have eat-in facilities. 

A couple of these eateries may likewise provide take-out services to their clients.

The present concept of the dark kitchen was laid down in India. Thus, Rebel Foods, supported by Sequoia, was the first to start the business. This is how Faasos appeared. Today, Rebel Foods has more than 9 brands and recently raised $125 million and is valued at $525 million.

Faasos or Rebel Foods raised its first round of financing of US$5 million from Sequoia Capital in November 2011, following a second round of US$20 million in February 2015 from Lightbox Ventures and Sequoia Capital. A third round of subsidizing got them US$30 million in December 2015.

Faasos has brought over ₹41 crores up in April 2017 out of an all-inclusive Series C round of subsidizing. Revolutionary nourishments, the parent organization of Fassos also brought them $125 million of subsidizing. 

In 2019 cloud kitchen Rebel Foods has received US$5 million from Indonesian ride-hailing major Gojek as part of the Mumbai-based company’s ongoing series D round.
