How our kitchen rentals work

Long-term private kitchen rentals

Nimbus River North offers long-term private kitchen rentals tailored to food entrepreneurs who seek consistency and control over their workspace. Each dedicated kitchen unit is exclusively yours, but you will still have access to key shared spaces such as commercial dishwashing stations, and the first-floor dispatch station. The contract minimum is one year, providing 24/7 access to your kitchen, allowing you to operate on your own terms.

These private rentals include all-inclusive pricing that covers utilities, equipment maintenance, and additional services such as trash removal and pest control. This setup not only saves you thousands of dollars each month but also lets you focus on your culinary business without worrying about the operational overhead. Payment is straightforward, through The Food Corridor. Nimbus ensures that your kitchen environment is fully equipped and compliant, allowing you to concentrate on your culinary pursuits.

Hourly shared kitchen rentals

Nimbus River North's hourly shared kitchen rentals offer unmatched flexibility for culinary startups, catering businesses, and food entrepreneurs needing short-term access to a professional kitchen environment. With various pricing options starting at $20.50 per hour, our shared kitchen rentals allow you to optimize your schedule with booking windows available from 6 am to 10 pm, seven days a week. Hourly kitchens must be booked in 4-hour shifts, and there is a 32 hour/month minimum.

These kitchens come fully equipped with essential amenities, including under-hood equipment, prep tables, and access to shared small wares like pots and pans. Members enjoy the freedom to customize their kitchen experience according to their specific needs, with the reassurance that all critical operational aspects are expertly managed by Nimbus. The contract requires a three-month initial commitment, with month-to-month flexibility thereafter. Changes can be made up to six days before the shift, offering peace of mind and adaptability to your dynamic business requirements.
