ClusterTruck is an Indiana-based independent cloud kitchen company that owns and operates delivery-only kitchens. ClusterTruck designs its own menu items, prepares the meals in its own cloud kitchen facilities and delivers the items to customers using the company’s own delivery fleet of drivers and cyclists. The company has a proprietary software system that uses custom algorithms to optimize kitchen and delivery operations. ClusterTruck aims to deliver all orders to customers within 7-8 minutes of preparation and, on average, less than 30 minutes after ordering. Customers can place orders via ClusterTruck’s mobile app. The company offers 100+ menu options.
In December 2019, ClusterTruck partnered with Kroger to pilot ‘Kroger Delivery Kitchen Powered by ClusterTruck’. In August 2020, following a successful pilot, ClusterTruck expanded the partnership to launch two delivery-only kitchens inside Kroger stores in Indianapolis, Indiana, and Columbus, Ohio. Customers choose from a menu of over 80 meals and place orders at KrogerDeliveryKitchen.com or the ClusterTruck mobile app.
As of January 2022, the company operates 7 cloud kitchen facilities in Indianapolis, Ohio and in downtown Kansas City.
In September 2022, ClusterTruck spun off its software platform into a standalone business called Empower Delivery. Empower offers a rebuilt version of the ClusterTruck platform as a SaaS Delivery solution targeted at small scale independent restaurants.
