Can the concept of dark kitchen compete with an ordinary restaurant in Portugal?

Dyachenko, Yulia

Abstract

This study aims to understand if the dark kitchen concept (a fully equipped place with all needed in a kitchen but without dining space for customers) can compete with an ordinary restaurant in Portugal. As Portugal is among the top 10 European countries that spend more on Eating out while the term dark kitchen still needs to be discovered, these two facts may be an obstacle to developing the new concept in Portugal. To verify this, an online experiment conducted to compare consumers’ attitudes and opinions on dark kitchens versus restaurants. One of the main conclusions that can be drawn from this study is that there is a need to broadcast information to customers and tell them what a dark kitchen is, as the group more aware of the dark kitchen was more loyal to the service.

INTRODUCTION Po ugal is ull o es au an s. In 2018 he e we e 31,363 es au an s in Po ugal, which is 11% highe compa ed o 2014 (Repo e al., 2021). Po ugal is on he lis o he op 10 Eu opean coun ies whose esiden s spend mo e on ea ing ou (S a is a, 2018). In 2020, he whole wo ld aced he new eali y o he Co id-19 pandemic. All ou o dina y li e has changed – emo e wo k, closed bo de s, closed se ices, including es au an s. Many es au an s we e closed du ing he pandemic, and Po ugal is no excep ion. A ound 40% o es au an s in Po ugal iled o bank up cy (Repo e al., 2021). F om cus ome s’ pe spec i e – people a e o ced o buy p oduc s in supe ma ke s and cook a home o o use online ood deli e y se ices, such as Glo o, Ube Ea s, Bol Food, and simila . F om a business pe spec i e – es au an s ied o su i e by changing hei business model, o ganizing deli e y, o using ex e nal online se ices o deli e hei p oduc . The p oblem is ha i hese cos s had no been conside ed in he business model, he es au an would mos likely no su i e. One o he la es es au an ends in he wo ld is he da k ki chen o ghos ki chen.

I could be one speci ic es au an o se o hem, like a ood ma ke , whe e di e en es au an s can p epa e a meal o deli e y o akeou . The main esea ch ques ion is: Will people li ing in Po ugal accep such a new es au an concep as a da k ki chen? Da k ki chens could be a 1$ illion business by 2030 (Eu omoni o , 2019). Now in Po ugal, a ew companies a e p oposing his concep . In he same way ha , in he las i e yea s, hi d-pa y deli e y has helped o de ine he es au an indus y, he nex s age o ha e olu ion o e he nex i e yea s is going o be da k ki chens. The da k ki chen model has become mo e popula among consume s and es au an owne s. Howe e , he e is some mis us abou ood quali y and condi ions whe e and how ood is p epa ed (Da eka , Shende, Shaikh, 2020). On he o he hand, dining ou is as much a social ac i i y as any hing else (Spang, 2000; Julie , 2013; Spence, 2017a). Also, he dining a mosphe e signi ican ly a ec s cus ome s' posi i e and nega i e emo ions and pe cei ed alue (Yinghua, SooCheong, 2009). I we look a sea ch ends, demand o ood deli e y has g own since he pandemic s a ed (Figu e 1). Now i is close o 2019 when he pandemic has ye o s a . 1 Figu e 1.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS This s udy’s objec i e was o unde s and i he da k ki chen concep can compe e wi h an o dina y es au an in Po ugal. To e i y his was decided o un an expe imen and compa e esul s be ween wo condi ion g oups - es au an and da k ki chen. Acco ding o p e ious esea ch, cus ome s ha e doub s abou he ood quali y and he condi ions whe e i has been p epa ed (Da ke e al., 2020). Based on ha , us was chosen as one o he p ima y dependen a iables. Also, willingness o pay was chosen, as i is one o he mos impo an indica o s o business, pa icula ly hose in he es au an indus y, as i shows cus ome sa is ac ion and loyal y (Ca son, 2008). Ano he c i ical ac o in he es au an sphe e is se ice quali y. Howe e , dining ou is a social ac i i y, and he dining expe ience can only be eplaced by ood deli e y i he es au an 's a mosphe e is euni ed. The a mosphe ics, which has been well explo ed be o e and was desc ibed by Ko le (1973) as " he e o o design buying en i onmen s o p oduce speci ic emo ional e ec s in he buye ha enhance his pu chase p obabili y." La e , he a mosphe ics model was de eloped (Meh abian A., Russell J., 1974), which sugges s ha he physical en i onmen e okes posi i e o nega i e emo ions in he clien , which in luence he o ma ion o an imp ession o i . The in e ac ion wi h he es au an , which has a dining space, akes place a a much highe olume han in a da k ki chen. Da k ki chen has no in luence on he a mosphe e as such, as he cus ome only in e ac s wi h he deli e y se ice o he deli e y poin , so one o he assump ions was ha because o his, he willingness o pay would be highe in a egula es au an han in a da k ki chen. Fi s ly, has been un p e- es , a e which we did he main s udy. In he main s udy, 102 pa icipan s ook pa . The o mula ed hypo heses did no con i m he exis ence o a di e ence be ween he wo condi ional g oups o pa icipan s in he expe imen . F om he business pe spec i e, i means ha he ype o es au an - i i has dining space o no , is no essen ial o cus ome s, and hey a e eady o pay no less o he ood p oduced in a da k ki chen han in usual es au an s. Howe e , a e his s udy, we did no con i m ha us in he quali y o p oduc s and se ices a e di e en be ween es au an and da k ki chen condi ion; his does no ake away om he ac ha he en i onmen in which he ood is p oduced is essen ial o cus ome s. All o his sugges s ha he da k ki chen can compe e wi h an o dina y es au an in Po ugal i ce ain condi ions a e me . This s udy ound insigh abou choice be ween a es au an and a da k ki chen in he ci cums ances wi h ime limi a ions. Was se a condi ion ha i he es au an wi h dining space is 40 minu es away and deli e y om he da k ki chen akes 25 minu es, he cus ome will choose deli e y. In such ci cums ances, he a e age mean in da k ki chen condi ions was signi ican ly highe han in es au an condi ion: M = 3.38, M = 2.59, F (1,56) = 6.56, p = 0.013. This could lead o hese esul s because people in he es au an condi ion g oup did no become 18 amilia wi h he desc ip ion o “da k ki chen”; ha is why hey p e e o go o he place hey a e amilia wi h, such as an o dina y es au an . Howe e , people we e al eady amilia wi h he da k ki chen e m in he da k ki chen g oup. Acco ding o he esul s, hey we e mo e loyal o his ype o es au an and eady o o de ood om i , despi e he sligh ime di e ence be ween he wo op ions and he p esence o he amilia , o dina y es au an . This esul shows how impo an i is o es au an owne s no only o ocus on he quali y o he p oduc s ha a e used o cooking bu o alk abou i o he cus ome s. I is essen ial, especially o da k ki chens, o make he cooking p ocess anspa en o con ey o cus ome s in o ma ion abou how p oduc quali y con ol is ca ied ou . Since he concep o a da k ki chen is p e y new o Po uguese cus ome s, hey do no ha e enough in e ac ion expe ience o ensu e he quali y o a da k ki chen es au an . The e m “da k ki chen” is no well-known ye (Hakim e al., 2022), bu by inc easing he amoun o in o ma ion abou da k ki chens, he le el o us and loyal y o he concep can be inc eased. Ano he in e es ing ac abou he impo ance o ime, which has been ound in his s udy, is ha when was asked: “How much ime a e you willing o spend o deli e y om a da k ki chen and o he oad o he es au an ” he di ec ion o he answe s in wo condi ions was he opposi e. In he da k ki chen condi ion g oup, o example, pa icipan s we e willing o wai an a e age o 27.6 minu es o deli e y, whe eas hey we e willing o spend 24.3 minu es on he way o he es au an . The es au an condi ion g oup indica o s we e 24.4 minu es o deli e y and 27 minu es, espec i ely. This may also be a esul o esponden s om he es au an condi ion g oup no knowing he e m and concep o da k ki chen.
