Uber Technologies Inc. co-founder Travis Kalanick’s secretive ghost kitchen startup said it was the victim of a “suspected arson” in a series of Twitter posts confirmed by the company’s spokeswoman.

The startup, which builds kitchens to cook food for delivery services, said in a rare public statement that two separate fires had been started at the same facility in San Francisco, one early Monday morning and another Tuesday evening at the same facility.
