Questions?We are here to help.
What is a shared kitchen?
A shared kitchen is an industrial style kitchen that is either utilized by multiple vendors with different owners (who split the associated expenses between them) or a shared kitchen can be used to prepare food for multiple food business enterprises owned by the same person or company.
How does a shared kitchen work?
Shared kitchens work differently depending upon who is running and occupying them. Some shared kitchens rent out space daily to different rotating vendors, some have multiple teams working in the same space, and some have one dedicated team that cooks for several different restaurant entities.
Are shared kitchens profitable?
Assuming that they are properly maintained and managed, shared kitchens have the potential to become quite profitable, especially considering the reduced expenses that come along with delivery-only commercial space.
How much do shared kitchens cost?
The price of a shared kitchen varies depending on your needs for equipment and resources. Renting space in a shared kitchen for a day or two can cost as little as a couple of thousand dollars. Building a brand new shared kitchen can easily cost upwards of a million dollars.
You can open a dedicated shared kitchen with CloudKitchens for as little as 30k upfront. Forget about googling “shared kitchens near me” or “shared kitchen space near me” every time you need a place to cook. Create and experience a culinary home base for less with CloudKitchens.
