Wow Bao Now

At Wow Bao, we partner with local restaurants to simply steam our menu items and have them available for pickup or delivery via 3^rd party services (i.e. DoorDash, Grubhub, and Uber Eats.) We ship our signature Bao, pan-seared potstickers, delectable dumplings, and flavorful rice bowls to be freshly prepared by your trained restaurant team. Wow Bao offers in-house marketing, supply chain coordination, and 3^rd party vendor support to get your business up and running in as little as 5 weeks with potential to earn six-figures in additional revenue. Our food. Your restaurant. Your team. Your Sales.

We partner with local restaurants

Wow Bao Now is a virtual kitchen concept that slides into any commercial space and transforms it into an Asian restaurant. In just 12 months, Wow Bao has launched over 300 virtual kitchens with hundreds of operators around the country. All you need is a steamer and a few feet of space and you’re in business. The corner café that needs more sales? It can be a Wow Bao Now! That beloved burger joint that wants to grow a second revenue stream? It can be a Wow Bao Now. Every local restaurant that needs more, can have more. Right Now. Across the country. It’s that easy.

Why Wow Bao Now

ESTABLISHED NATIONAL BRAND

Since opening in 2003, Wow Bao has grown from brick and mortar sites to include locations in airports, college campuses, sports stadiums, music venues, grocery stores, and at least 2 generations of food trucks. Why does becoming a partner with a nationally established brand help your business? When you partner with Wow Bao, you’ll inherit a passionate customer base that loves ordering our signature menu items from the convenience of their phones.

INDUSTRY PIONEERS

Over the last decade, Wow Bao has been a trailblazer within the industry by introducing bicycle delivery, desktop and mobile ordering, self-ordering kiosks, and launching a fully automated front of house restaurant with LCD animated pick up windows.

In 2017, before terms like “ghost kitchen” or “virtual restaurant” existed, Wow Bao had already partnered with Cloud Kitchens in Los Angeles.

Since the beginning of 2020, Wow Bao has partnered with more than 300-350 local restaurants in just 12 short months.

We pride ourselves of being ahead of the curve and pushing the limits of innovation within the restaurant industry and hope you join us for the ride.

PROVEN DIGITAL MARKETING

Using data driven insights, the Wow Bao marketing team has helped partners launch promotions both in-app and on popular social channels to boost revenues across all 3rd party ordering portals. Some of the ways Wow bao helps drive top line sales for each Dark Kitchen partner are: in-house content creation, digital ads, local PR support, in-app promotions, and strong existing relationships with DoorDash, Grubhub, and Uber Eats.

START ON SECOND BASE

Building a brand from scratch is hard. With the help of Wow Bao’s existing audience, national brand-name recognition, and hands on training with your team, you will hit the ground running with sales from day one–so you can focus on what’s important: making delicious-tasting food.
