These can range from an exclusive one-night food event to a public rooftop food talent space open for a few months.
Pop-up restaurants can be used for capturing a fleeting trend, such as a restaurant with the theme of the upcoming holiday or season. They can also theme an upcoming event like a movie or television show to be released.

It is not a long term commitment, and it does not need a hefty amount of money like when you are opening an all year round cafeteria.
