TikTok to Monetize Viral Content Through VR Partnership

Popular social media company TikTok found a new way to monetize viral content on its platform: virtual restaurants. The company is partnering with Virtual Dining Concepts to launch 300 "TikTok Kitchen" by March 2022, with plans to open 1,000 locations by the end of the year.

Virtual Dining Concepts is no stranger to celebrity-backed restaurant brands. The company supports virtual restaurant concepts from popular YouTuber MrBeast, singer Mariah Carey and Dave Portnoy’s Barstool Sports. This will be VDC’s first venture with a platform, and not stars on a platform, although a press release indicates that creator stories will feature prominently in marketing and on the menu.
