Gagaya, known for their mouthwatering Nanjing Salted Duck, is a rising star in Singapore’s food delivery scene. But the journey to getting there wasn’t straightforward. Founder Jerry, faced a common challenge for many aspiring restaurateurs – the high cost of opening a traditional brick-and-mortar restaurant.
“I didn’t have the budget to start a fine dining restaurant,” says Jerry “Smart City Kitchens was much easier, more straightforward and seemed to save me a lot of effort”
Minimal Management, Maximum Efficiency
Jerry wanted a solution that required minimal management. With Smart City Kitchens, businesses don’t need to worry about common space or cleaning as our team takes care of that. When leasing with Smart City Kitchens, you essentially get a private-kitchen in a shared-facility, helping you save on overheads and operating costs.
The extensive chilled, dry and freezer storage was also a major selling point for Gagaya. These walk-in storage solutions mean that Gagaya’s kitchen space is dedicated exclusively to food prep and cooking. Jerry brought in all the extra equipment he needed to prep and cook.
Island-Wide Delivery Made Easy
Thanks to Smart City Kitchens’ conveniently located Tampines facility, Gagaya is perfectly positioned to deliver their salted duck across all of Singapore. This strategic location, coupled with Smart City Kitchens’ streamlined operations, allows Jerry to reach a wider audience without the hefty overhead costs of a traditional restaurant or central kitchen.
