Ghost, or virtual kitchens, have been a growing trend in the city even well ahead of the novel coronavirus pandemic. In early-2019 Succulent Hospitality launched three new restaurants, all of which are delivery only.

PREP, an 83,500-square-foot “culinary campus,” houses multi-functional shared kitchen facilities. In the space, stations are located in an open setting, or in private or flex stations. Out of the space, Fazoli’s offers its Italian dishes for delivery, carryout, and catering only.

The new Fazoli’s is also one of only ten locations across the company to offer the restaurant’s newest addition—chicken wings. Atlanta’s new Fazoli’s is open for delivery daily from 10:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.
