Why you should consider joining a shared commissary kitchen
We handle the expenses and complications for you. Our certified commissary kitchen handles all of the facility permitting and maintenance requirements in order to operate legally so YOU don’t have to! We also provide all the cleaning and sanitizing supplies.
No more limitations! Many small food businesses start of as Cottage Food Operations (CFO’s) with strict limits on annual income, what ingredients they are allowed to use, and long wait times and additional expenses for label approval through the health department. With a certified commissary kitchen for your business to call home, those restrictions and added expenses no longer apply.
Smaller overhead expenses = higher chances of success and growth. We offer competitive hourly rates and strive to keep costs for our participating businesses as low as possible. We want your extra earnings to be invested back into your business, not into our pockets. Our ultimate goal is your absolute success, so your business can one day afford a facility of your own.
