The questions we
hear most often.

When you come into the kitchen for a tour, expect questions from us! We are genuinely curious about you, your business, and what we can do to assist you to start and grow it. Every entrepreneur is unique and we want to address your specific queries and current challenges.

Your monthly cost is your membership fee plus cooking equipment usage and applicable taxes. The membership fee covers the station time, prep table and storage allowance in your package. Cooking equipment usage is billed separately based on what you use.

We confirm your membership fee, equipment usage rates and deposit in your quote before you sign. Book a tour to find the right package for your production schedule and storage needs.

Your membership includes the station hours, prep table and storage allowance listed for your package, plus shared sinks, work tables, WiFi, mop and rag service, and commercial dishwashing. The facility is accessible 24/7; shared plans have a weekly station hour allowance and exclusive stations include unlimited access. Cooking equipment usage is charged separately. Confirm your production schedule with our team.

We provide the storage space and heavy equipment, you bring everything else — knives, bowls, blenders, whisks, hotel pans, and the specific tools required to process your food.

Yes — the local health authority (Fraser Health for our Langley kitchen, Island Health for Victoria) will review your food safety plan, and then come in to inspect you in the kitchen. You interact directly with the inspector. The health authorities have inspected our kitchens 100s of times over the years — and know we have everything in place from a facility point of view to meet their requirements.

Memberships are available on a 12 month term, or a 6 month term at a 10% higher monthly rate. Book a tour to find the right membership for your business.

You need an inspection from the local health authority, liability insurance, a food safe certificate, and a fully refundable damage deposit. We will walk you through all the details during a tour and follow-up communication.

In general, we suggest you sign up soon. That gives you time to get your food safety plan completed and schedule an appointment for an inspection. We are flexible in start dates, and terms — so ask when you are touring to see what options are available.
