What does a shared kitchen space have to offer? Whether you're transitioning from a restaurant, a private kitchen space, or you're a first-time business owner — here are the top 5 things unique to the Seattle Commissary Kitchen experience.
1. Reduced Cost
For new businesses exploring a new model, you have flexibility. Flex-Schedule memberships keep your access affordable with the most flexibility for your schedule — especially important if you're just starting out or run a gig-based business (pop-ups, events, farmers markets) that doesn't need a kitchen every week. You get dedicated prep space, shared cooking equipment, WiFi, printer, computers, and all utilities included, whenever you need it.
2. Expert Support
Our team's goal is to free you up to do what you're passionate about: making food! We handle the heavy lifting of kitchen maintenance — deep cleaning, equipment maintenance, repairs, and sanitation — so you can focus on what matters: your business.
3. Shared Resources
From business grants to SBA loans, our team stays up to the minute on what helps Seattle food businesses succeed, and we want to share that knowledge with you — from navigating licensing all the way to expanding far beyond our walls.
4. Community Collaboration
Exchanging ideas, working together on menus for shared clients, developing your business strategy — these are just a few of the ways our community of food entrepreneurs can be an asset to your business. You're gaining a network, not just a space.
5. Making the Space Your Own
By adding dry, cooler, or freezer shelving to your membership, you can keep your tools and supplies stored onsite at your fingertips. Our kitchens grow with you — whether that's storage for specialized equipment or extra workstations as your production increases.
