With the latest offering, the company’s foodservice customers will have access to its resources and portfolio of brands to optimise off-premise performance.

PepsiCo Foodservice marketing senior director André Moraes said: “Ghost kitchens offer foodservice operators an efficient, proven and cost-effective way to improve kitchen profitability and overall supply-chain utilisation without the burden of additional overhead and front-of-house operations typically associated with launching a new restaurant.

“PepsiCo Foodservice leads with innovation; we are constantly seeking new opportunities to learn and modernise to bring our customers cutting-edge capabilities to fuel their growth and drive success.

“Digital Lab provides new and existing partners with a one-stop-shop to enter the space so they can focus on what they do best: creating delicious meals that delight consumers.”
