Are you one of those who have a unique food offering? Are you interested in bringing your unique food product to market, but too intimidated to take the first step? Wondering where to start? ShareKitchen is the answer.
Getting started is easy and the options are plenty. At the most basic level, ShareKitchen provides a fully equipped, commercially licensed shared-use kitchen available for rent by the hour. We understand that many people who are new to the space are also new to running their own business.
For those in need of more support and guidance, we offer a comprehensive Culinary Incubator Business Development program which provides assistance to start-up and early-stage entrepreneurs with the goal of improving their chances of growing into a healthy, sustainable food related business.
It really is as easy as 1, 2, 3.
1. Answer a few simple questions to determine needs and expectations.
2. Set up an appointment to tour the facility.
3. Pick one of our “Get Started” packages.
Packages start as low as $150 which includes a kitchen familiarization orientation, five hours of kitchen time, one month free storage shelf rental, one hour free professional consulting time and a safety and sanitation kit. Kitchen rental rates range from $18 – $22 per hour depending on usage.
ShareKitchen’s affordable kitchen space has also helped established businesses expand, using the kitchen for menu planning, training, taste testing, product development, brainstorming, and of course production. Products made or developed at ShareKitchen can be found in cafes, street fairs, restaurants, markets and grocers throughout the area.
Interested entrepreneurs are invited to an open house on Wednesdays from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. to tour the facility and learn about how ShareKitchen can help you grow your businesses. For more information call 760.459.4259, visit www. ShareKitchen.org or email Michael@sharekitchen.org.
