Why Cloud Kitchens Need Their Own Storefront

Cloud kitchens don't have a dining room, a sign on the street, or foot traffic. Discovery almost always starts on a delivery app, which makes it tempting to treat that app as the entire business.
But that dependence is exactly why a direct storefront matters more for a cloud kitchen than for a traditional restaurant. Every customer who finds you once and orders again through the app is a customer you're paying to re-acquire forever.
With Nopeza, a cloud kitchen can put a branded ordering link in every packaging insert, every social post and every receipt. The first order might come from a marketplace; the fifth order shouldn't cost you a commission to earn.
