Everything but the Secret Recipes
How do I schedule?
We are teaming up with a company called the Food Corridor- the #1 shared kitchen management software. If you are a vendor with AK, you will be guided on how to use the software through their website/onboarding process. It is super easy, very user friendly and all-encompassing.
Will other cooks be in the kitchen at the same time?
Yes. This is the beauty of a shared community kitchen. There will be other makers in the space at the same time as you creating their own products.
What if the equipment that I want to use is being used?
All vendors are asked to use the equipment as quickly as possible. Hoarding of shared equipment and tables will not be allowed. We ask that you use the equipment, and wash it immediately after you are done so that the next vendor may use it in a fair amount of time.
How much does it cost?
Check out our “plans & pricing” tab on our website for the most updated information
Can I change my mind?
Our monthly agreements are month to month. Our hourly memberships are annual
When are fees due? How do I pay?
Monthly agreements are due at the first of the month. Hourly are due upon booking your space. Hourly membership fees are due prior to your first use and renewed on that anniversary date.
Am I responsible for cleaning up?
Yes. There will be a clean up list and you will be expected to have the kitchen space as clean as the list details. Fees will occur if the space is left unclean. See our “Cleaning Agreement” for more details.
Can you help me create an LLC for my business?
Yes. Let us know in the inquiry that you need an LLC started and we can create one for your business for a $200 fee. See our onboarding services document.
Is storage/refrigeration space available?
Yes. Both dry storage and freezer storage is available for additional rental costs. Vendors of dry/freezer storage will be given a designated area that will be locked with a key that the vendor is responsible for. Have limited space where you currently are? We offer a monthly storage-only option as well.
How do I get started?
Fill out the vendor application. Within the application you will need to have paperwork such as: insurance, health license, and you may be required to be ServSafe certified. If you are just producing for friends and family, the above will not be required. The hourly pricing model will only be available to friends and family production.
Can the address of the kitchen be used as my business address?
No. You need to use an address that mail will be sent to.
What if something breaks?
Breaks due to misuse or foul play will be charged to the vendor. 24/7 cameras will be present at all areas of the inside and out of the building.
How many people can I bring in the kitchen when I am there?
You may bring up to 4 staff personnel with you. Each member that you will bring MUST be signed in and approved by AK before entry. Connect with us if more than 4 pop people are needed.
How do I get in the kitchen?
You will be provided with a key card for entry. There will be access to the front door and the rear garage door with the entry card. No one may be allowed in that does not have a key card.
Can I host classes in the kitchen?
With prior approval of date and time, classes may be hosted in the kitchen. Email us for more information.
Do I need insurance?
Yes. All members must carry general liability (and product liability insurance, if applicable) before using the kitchen.
Are there any rules for behavior?
Yes. We value honesty and integrity and community. All vendors are to follow our code of conduct, respect shared spaces, and maintain professionalism. And c’mon man - be respectful.
