In a global scenario where innovation and efficiency stand out, a company from Espírito Santo is becoming a true phenomenon in the food sector. ATW Delivery Brands, founded in 2015 by a resident of Morro do Cruzamento in Vitória, is now one of the largest digital restaurant chains in the world, redefining the concept of ‘dark kitchen’ with a highly profitable business model.
ATW is not only a pioneer in the dark kitchen market; it is also the largest chicken fryer on the planet. With an impressive 200 tons of chickens sold per month – equivalent to 1.7 million chickens per year – the company has established itself as a giant in the fried food segment. Its production capacity and efficiency have been essential to meet the growing demand from its customers, who receive 300,000 orders per month, totaling 3.6 million annual orders.
The brand, which currently has 850 digital restaurants and 170 physical stores spread throughout Brazil and the world, aims to achieve a turnover of R$180 million this year. And it doesn’t stop there: the company has big ambitions for the future, with the forecast to reach the R$1 billion mark by 2030. This robust growth positions it among the main current dark kitchens – a trend that represents restaurants that operate exclusively via delivery, without face-to-face service or dining area.
This business model is particularly attractive for entrepreneurs starting out in the food industry. By operating without a dining room and without the need for a physical structure to receive customers, it significantly reduces operating costs. This allows new entrepreneurs to enter the market with less initial investment and lower financial risk, taking advantage of the infrastructure and efficiency already established by the brand.
As the delivery market continues to grow, ATW’s “ghost kitchen” model stands out as an innovative and economical solution for the food sector. With its proven success and ambitious vision for the future, the brand is shaping the future of digital gastronomy and establishing itself as a shining example of how innovation and efficiency can turn an idea into a global empire.
ATW is a true testament that great ideas can come from anywhere – even from the heart of Vitoria. With an impressive journey and bold plans, the company is ready to continue its ascent and redefine the world of digital restaurants.
