A bunch of places do this, it costs very little to operate a "new" restaurant under a different name, so you cna gain more customers by competing against yourself and have specialty restaurants as well.. a lot of pizza places (even chili's) will have a "wings" restaurant, mr beast burger started popping up everywhere near me but they're all ghost restaurants. So if i wanted wings, id say "fuck chilis, i want a legit wings place" and end up ordering wings from chili's without knowing it. Also very popular in big cities - there are kitchens that are have no store front for you to visit and if I wanted to open a restaurant in NYC for example, I just hire them and give them a menu and set everything up as delivery only through grubhub/doordash/uber/etc...

define "large enough" - i work with aluminum powders and will probably need to replace tools relatively soon.

if he gets some contact info for anyone that may need it, then it worked for him.

If I find some cheaper/better tools for my company, it's a good day for me. Win-win.

Unfortunately, it's part of networking. Otherwise I'd rely only on google for sourcing shit.
