The Main Street Kitchen is a shared-use commercial kitchen available for rent on an hourly basis for food entrepreneurs who are looking to launch or grow their businesses. The kitchen rents for $15 per hour. In our facility, you can pass the food safety inspections you will need to sell your products.
To become a user of the Main Street Kitchen, you will need to follow these steps:
1) Schedule a visit with our staff to discuss your business idea and view the facilities. You will receive an application packet, which includes an application form and other documents we need to get you set up as a user.
2) Complete all documents, including proof of insurance and agreement to follow kitchen policies.
3) You can then schedule a formal kitchen orientation and begin using the kitchen.
4) Schedule hours by communicating with our staff. You’ll be billed monthly for your hours, and expected to pay within two weeks.
5) Get cooking!
