WHAT IS A COMMUNITY KITCHEN?

A Community Kitchen is a shared-use, licensed commercial space that is certified for food production. Entrepreneurs, food makers, and small businesses can rent the kitchen by the hour or day, giving them access to professional-grade equipment and facilities while meeting regulatory compliance standards.

You may find that you need a Community Kitchen if you are a:

– Start-up food business in need of your first professional facility 

– Home-based business looking to legalize and grow your operation 

– Established business relying on irregular or difficult kitchen rentals 

– Established business looking to expand or reach new markets

Who can benefit from the Community Kitchen?

Businesses that benefit from a Community Kitchen include caterers, food trucks, prepared meal services, meal or box delivery services, pet food makers, personal chefs, bakers, street vendors, cake decorators, and producers of specialty food items such as condiments, beverages, and candies. Delivery-only restaurants, also known as “dark restaurants,” “ghost kitchens,” or “cloud kitchens,” are also increasingly leveraging shared-use kitchens to minimize overhead and launch pop-up or virtual dining options.

A Community Kitchen provides an affordable, accessible solution for small food entrepreneurs looking to scale their operations without the significant upfront investment of building a full commercial kitchen. Whether you’re a seasoned business or just getting started, it’s the perfect space to grow your food venture!
