Configure this build →These figures are assumptions stated out loud, not predictions about your business. Memory, cores and disk can all be raised on the same server later, usually within the hour, with no rebuild and no new IP address — so starting one size below the estimate is normally the cheaper mistake.
Why Cloud Kitchens size up this way
Working from about 50,000 visits a month and roughly 116,667 requests a day, peaks run about 8× the average hour, so the build is sized for the busiest moment rather than the typical one.
- 10.8 req/sec at peak

Which tiers suit Cloud Kitchens
Including the ones that do not, and why — that is usually the more useful half.
| Infrastructure | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Shared Hosting Managed space on a shared server | Workable | Workable for a single small property or practice, though a shared database is the first thing to strain when bookings cluster. |
| VPS Flexible virtual infrastructure with full root access | Recommended | A VPS handles a booking engine and its database comfortably, with predictable performance when enquiries spike. |
| VDS Virtual server with resources pinned to you alone | Recommended | Pinned resources matter here: a reservation that times out at the payment step is a booking you never see. |
| Dedicated Server An entire physical server, configured to your specification | Workable | Right once you are running several properties, or a property management system alongside the public site. |
| Bare Metal Physical compute for sustained, demanding workloads | Not this one | Reservation workloads are database-bound rather than compute-bound, so the extra physical capacity goes unused. |
Cloud Kitchens workloads you can host
Several brands out of one kitchen means several order streams competing for the same physical capacity.
- Multi-brand menus
- Aggregator integrations
- Kitchen routing
- Capacity throttling
- Per-brand reporting
