Virtual Food Hall Opening In The South Bay This Spring

LAWNDALE, CA — The future is coming to the South Bay: a virtual food hall is bringing new to-go options and tons of flavor.

K2 Restaurants Hospitality Group is bringing SocialEats OnTheGo into the South Bay and Greater Los Angeles area, the group announced Monday.

The company plans to add five new fast-casual dining eateries, including Pop!s Burgers & Shakes, Azule Taqueria, Supertoro, Street Noods and Hollywood Crab Shack in early May at 16711 Hawthorne Blvd, Lawndale.

In January, K2 Restaurants announced its partnership with Cloudkitchens and launched its first virtual food hall in Anaheim. The company also has SocialEats OnTheGo locations in Santa Monica and Hollywood, with plans to open a Mid-Wilshire location.

Like other SocialEats OnTheGo locations, SocialEats OnTheGo South Bay will offer free in-house local delivery through SocialEats Good Eats Delivered program for orders over $15, an offering that’s available at all SocialEats locations via ordersocialeats.com. People can also combine items from any restaurant into one order.

This move helps eliminate the need to place separate orders from each concept at checkout. Deliveries can also be made with third-party delivery options on Postmates, UberEats and Grubhub and Doordash, according to the company.

“SocialEats OnTheGo virtual food hall repurposes the traditional food hall experience into a delivery-only platform and makes our restaurants more accessible and convenient for the consumer,” John Kolaski, owner of K2 Restaurants, said in a statement.

K2 Restaurants launched in 2018 and includes a group of restaurants. K2 is headquartered in Los Angeles with operations across the U.S.

“Our goal is to continue meeting customers where they are with our in-house SocialEats Good Eats Delivered program and making online ordering from multiple restaurants simple and streamline," Kolaski said. "Partnering with a trusted operation like Cloudkitchens has been key to this repurposing and a great way for us to introduce SocialEats to the South Bay.”

People can order food via the website: ordersocialeats.com. SocialEats OntheGo South Bay is also available on Postmates, UberEats and Grubhub and Doordash.
