Virtual Dining Concepts (VDC), an industry leader in the virtual dining space, announced TIKTOK KITCHEN, a partnership with the short-form video platform, TikTok.

The menu will be inspired by the hottest viral food trends on TikTok, an extremely popular category on their platform.  TikTok, with over 1 billion users, provides a space for creators to post food videos – from innovative recipes to cooking hacks. These culinary trend videos have exploded on TikTok generating hundreds of millions of views.  The menu will celebrate creators while offering restaurants across the country the opportunity to opt-in and become a market partner.

“Working with the team at TikTok on development of the menu and the whole vibe of this brand has been so energizing, and I am thrilled to reveal our newest VDC concept today, TikTok Kitchen, which will be our first with an ever-changing menu,” says VDC co-founder Robert Earl.  “When we launched MrBeast Burger last December, we were in uncharted territory. Now, one year in, MrBeast Burger is seen as the absolute prime mover in the virtual space, with locations continuing to open throughout the USA and internationally, and we believe TikTok Kitchen is right up there in the same stratosphere. With TikTok’s constant support through initiatives on the platform and via their creators, TikTok Kitchen will always be relevant and exciting.”

Proceeds from TikTok Kitchen sales will go to both support the creators who inspired the menu item, and to encourage and assist other creators to express themselves on the platform in keeping with TikTok’s mission to inspire creativity and bring joy to its users.

The menu will draw upon the most popular viral food posts on TikTok and is designed to respond to demand for the hottest current trends, therefore it will be updated quarterly so the brand remains fresh and relevant. As with all VDC concepts, TikTok Kitchen menu items are fully tested in advance to ensure that efficiencies and practicality issues are addressed inside working restaurant kitchens. Once approved to carry TikTok Kitchen, restaurants will receive the training materials, recipes, packaging, and more.
