Shared Commercial Kitchen
Food business owners such as packaged food product makers, bakers, prepared meal providers, early-to-mid-stage caterers, and food truck operators use the shared commercial kitchen at Fulton Commons as their production facility. Multiple businesses—as the name implies—work out of the facility which is how we keep costs down relative to having your own space.
What We Do
Fulton Commons provides and manages the physical kitchen infrastructure—cooking equipment, storage space, prep and cleaning areas, and more—for operating a permitted food business, on flexible terms, as part of a broader network of food and other entrepreneurs.
A significant obstacle to launching or scaling a food business is the required financial investment, lead time, and long-term commitment to open one’s own facility. A second obstacle is that, once one’s facility is open, in addition to focusing on the core of one’s business, one is spending substantial time and money managing their facility. At Fulton Commons, the kitchen is already set up and we manage the tedious—and expensive—tasks like equipment maintenance and deep cleaning; providing and managing utilities; providing gloves, towels, and cleaning chemicals; and more.
How It Works
Each kitchen member company has their own dedicated prep station with unlimited access to the facility after an initial orientation period. There is scheduling software for booking time on specific pieces of cooking equipment. Refrigerated, frozen, and dry storage space is available to support your production. Each member has their own permit with Fulton Commons as their shared kitchen.
