CloudKitchens is expanding its operations to São Paulo, Brazil, seeking a billing and collections specialist for its local office, a move signaling continued growth for the company as it reshapes the restaurant industry through a delivery-first model.
The company, founded in 2016 by Diego Berdakin and Sky Dayton and later backed by Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick, provides fully equipped commercial kitchens designed exclusively for delivery and pickup operations. This model allows restaurants to avoid the high costs and lengthy development timelines associated with traditional brick-and-mortar establishments, according to the company.
CloudKitchens’ expansion reflects a broader trend in the food service sector, where delivery-first restaurants are gaining prominence. A report from earlier this year highlighted the platform’s role in helping restaurants grow by offering lower startup costs and flexible expansion strategies. The company aims to empower food entrepreneurs to scale efficiently and profitably by removing the necessitate for costly dining spaces while offering tools to optimize delivery operations.
The São Paulo-based role will focus on supporting operations by ensuring the accuracy of billing and collections data, performing data audits, and managing customer-related processes. The position requires strong communication skills, billing and collections experience, and advanced English proficiency. CloudKitchens emphasizes a collaborative environment, offering support and guidance to employees and fostering close collaboration between teams.
CloudKitchens operates on a hybrid model of commercial real estate, logistics, and software services. The company transforms underutilized properties into “smart kitchens” to serve restaurateurs and customers, creating jobs in the process. The company’s stated goal is to make food more affordable, higher quality, and convenient.
The company is targeting a significant market, with the U.S. Delivery market projected to reach at least $500 billion by 2030. CloudKitchens requires all teams, excluding field-based roles, to operate from office locations five days a week, believing that in-person collaboration is essential for innovation and rapid scaling.
