Burger King has become the latest food chain to launch its first so-called dark kitchen as it caters for soaring home delivery demand.
The fast food giant said it is trialling its first delivery-only site, which launched on Sunday in Kentish Town, north London.
Burger King said it is working in partnership with FoodStars, the delivery kitchen business backed by former Uber boss Travis Kalanick, to launch the expansion.
The new kitchen will have the potential to reach around 400,000 customers, also covering the Camden and Highgate areas.
Customers heading to UK McDonald s with morning can grab a Breakfast Roll for £1.99, while those dining after lunch can pick up a McChicken Sandwich for just 99p.
