This agreement will allow JustKitchen to launch ghost kitchens in premium locations quickly and in a cost-effective manner.

JustKitchen co-founder and CEO Jason Chen said: “The signing of this agreement on preferred terms expedites JustKitchen’s entry into the Singapore market, which follows our entry into Hong Kong and soon to be Philippines from our home base in Taiwan.

“We expect to launch our first ghost kitchens with a selection of our best proprietary menus and partner food brands, and our business development team will be working to secure licences for the virtual food rights to local hero brands in Singapore as well.

“JustKitchen continues to grow its footprint internationally, establish relationships with major counterparties, expand its food brand portfolio, optimise its tech stack and ultimately strengthen its competitive position in the ghost kitchen industry.”

Last year, JustKitchen announced its international expansion plans. Recently, the company opened locations in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
