SAJJ Mediterranean Opens Second Location With Local Kitchens

San Francisco Bay-Area based Mediterranean fast casual concept SAJJ Mediterranean has opened the second SAJJ Kitchen in Palo Alto, California, with partners Local Kitchens, a micro food hall concept.

SAJJ Kitchen Palo Alto is open daily from 11am to midnight, hosting guests for indoor or outdoor dining and fulfilling online orders. Customers will be able to order in-store via kiosks, and online for pickup or delivery through the Local Kitchens website or third-party delivery services.

[75% of consumers prefer to order delivery direct from the restaurant, according to HT's 2021 Customer Engagement Technology Study.]

This marks Sajj's second location with Local Kitchens. 

“With the boom of digital ordering and the successful pilot of the Cupertino location, we’re excited to launch our second SAJJ Kitchen location with Local Kitchens in Palo Alto to help meet the needs of SAJJ’s new and existing customers in the area,"said Founder and CEO of SAJJ Mediterranean Zaid Ayoub. "We’re so impressed with the Local Kitchens team and chefs who will create each meal on-site and continue to wonderfully represent the SAJJ brand.”

Local Kitchens was founded by former DoorDash colleagues, CEO Jon Goldsmith and COO Andrew Munday, and CTO Jordan Bramble. The entrepreneurs set out to transform the concept of a food hall for the digital age. Local Kitchens’ Palo Alto site features a storefront and a dedicated takeout customer experience with staff from local communities, who have been meticulously trained by restaurant partners to prepare each meal on-site. The micro food hall concept allows customers to mix and match cuisines from different restaurants, like SAJJ Kitchen, in a single order.

SAJJ Mediterranean currently operates multiple restaurants and satellite kitchens throughout California, food trucks, a popular catering service, and an e-commerce SAJJ Market.
