Not sure what you need, or how to begin?  No worries, just chat or  call  and we’re here to help you!  Here are a few FAQ’s we get:

 

what does it take?

To rent the kitchen on a recurring basis, it’s a 4 step process to get you started right:

  1. Apply Online here.  Apply for free and we’ll send you a Getting Started Guide. 
  2. Complete your Food Safety Manager training, or provide proof of completion.
  3. Provide documents, incl. business registration and proof of insurance.
  4. Apply for DHEC or Dept of Ag permit.

how long does it take?

Typically, our clients get through the process in 2 – 4 weeks for DHEC permit and a few months for the Department of Agriculture certification.

If you’re already certified/permitted and have a head start on the 4 steps (to the left), you may be able to get started in the kitchen sooner. 

can i rent one time?

Because we comply with the SC Department of Health guidelines and regulations for kitchen use, one-time use is not available for purposes of selling or serving food to a group of people.  One-time use may be possible for purposes like a photo shoot or cooking class, where you can rent the kitchen for a minimum of 3 hours.   Click here to inquire with us.

what equipment do you have?

Because we started the kitchen from the ground up to be a shared space for a wide variety of chefs, bakers, and makers, we kept the equipment to the basics.  We have gas ranges, convection ovens, and a large mixer.  We also have commercial grade, tabletop food processor and mixers.  Get more details here.

 

Our purpose and passion is to offer a professional, SCDHEC permitted and Department of Agriculture approved kitchen for rent where chefs, bakers, and maker entrepreneurs can launch and grow your business.
