Virtual Kitchen Concepts

Nathan’s Famous is an industry leader in opening and partnering with virtual kitchen concepts worldwide. We offer the unique opportunity to add the Arthur Treacher’s and Wings of New York concepts, which are part of the Nathan’s Famous brand portfolio.

Arthur Treacher’s Fish ‘n Chips is a fast food seafood chain founded in 1969 proudly serving fried seafood, chicken and French fries. The Arthur Treacher’s menu fans fondly remember includes its light and crispy batter and made-from-scratch hush puppies. There is high demand for seafood on delivery platforms as seafood is not typically a menu item guests prepare at home. Seafood delivery is increasing in demand as there is far less competition versus other categories. The high demand for wings on 3rd party delivery platforms inspired the development of The Wings of New York concept. Although not branded under the Nathan's Famous name, it highlights the excitement of New York and high quality menu offerings including our hand-dipped chicken tenders and hot honey half chicken, as well as Belgium style waffles and chicken wings with a choice of over a dozen different sauces. Both concepts are easy to execute, require no additional equipment and can scale and grow quickly with no additional cost for menuboards and signage.
