Rent is typically only 7% of total restaurant operations costs. See Chipotle's quarterly earnings filings for example, and any restaurant industry analyses.

Labor and food costs make up 60% of costs, with them being roughly equally divided. Restaurant margins are around 5-7%. I don't see how CloudKitchens is supposed to fundamentally alter the restaurant industry, making it cheaper. Maybe I'm missing something.
