Adam Armeland Streamlining the Food Delivery and Takeout Sector Leveraging Innovative Technology Could you please share with us your innovative idea behind this ''ghost kitchen" concept? The Kitchen Hub story began while I was on parental leave
in 2018 — my way of ‘cooking’ for my family while I was also busy taking care of my daughter was picking up takeout from a local restaurant. During my many visits to our
CEO of Kitchen Hub CanadianSME sat down with Adam
Armeland, CEO of Kitchen Hub, earlier this year to talk about the disruption he has brought to the food industry through his "Ghost Kitchen" concept. He shares the innovative idea behind the concept of
