What happens if you change to "pickup"? Does the place just disappear?

You end up standing in line with a bunch of delivery drivers who all know the drill and are on the clock, and you quickly learn you cannot be polite if you want to get your food.

No, you just go pick it up and save some money.

I live a short bike ride from a CloudKitchen location and pick up from it often. Hard to beat birria and bao buns in the same stop even if they're nothing to write home about.

Could be a few years stale. Some of the ghost kitchens even operated out of real restaurants by another name. E.g. higher quality sitdown place shoveling out burgers and fries out the back door.

Yes, that also blew my trust in the whole thing.

I don't see why I should bother. It's easier and better just to order from real restaurants that people go to to eat.
