Our kitchens are available for bookings from 6am-10pm, 7 days / week. All shifts must fall within our booking windows. Note that shifts in all kitchens can be stacked to create longer production days.

We cannot guarantee availability of a specific kitchen shift; our space is first-come, first-served, and hourly members are required to book shifts themselves directly in The Food Corridor.

You can book shifts up to 60 days in advance, but please keep in mind that we have a six-day day cancellation and shift change policy.

Smallwares

Our hourly kitchen rentals include larger shared equipment like pots, pans, cutting boards, food processors, blenders, and more.

Note that we do not provide small handheld items like knives, whisks, spoons, etc. Please bring these items yourself.

Please note these smallwares are first-come, first-served, and while we haven't had sharing issues in the past, if there is something absolutely critical to your operation, we always recommend you bring them in yourself!

We have dry, cold, and frozen storage available on-site.
