REEF, a real estate and technology platform that transforms underutilized urban parking lots into community ghost kitchens, has filed for permits at 1750 Cesar Chavez Road in Potrero Hill.
A representative from REEF was not immediately available for comment, but it looks like the firm plans to use the current lot as a ghost kitchen hub, where partnering restaurants can direct delivery orders.
REEF currently has more than 4,500 locations worldwide, and occupies over 2 million urban parking spots.
The company has partnered with delivery services like GrubHub, DoorDash, Postmates, and UberEats, as well as over thirty restaurants, including Wendy’s, Umami Burger, Rebel Wings, and Wow Bao.
We don’t know when these ghost kitchens will swoop into 1750 Cesar Chavez, or which local restaurants will utilize them, but more kitchens can only mean one thing: faster delivery. And if REEF is going to make sure our pizza and ramen and wings are delivered hot and fresh, we’re all for it. What good is an empty parking lot, anyway?
