Can you say what city you are seeing restaurants that don't do sit down and only do delivery? Are these brand new restaurants? I can't imagine anyone that was already paying rent for a dining room turning people away. I also find it hard to imagine that a delivery only restaurant would be operating in a place that has good foot traffic as that is usually factored in to the rent since it means access to walk-in customers.

Lastly has the "ghost kitchen" market actually taken off? What brand recognition is there in that market?
