- a customized, step-by-step guidebook encompassing
- information on set-up, management and operations of the shared-use kitchen
- identification of types of products and food businesses appropriate for the operation
OUTCOME:
The organization recently launched the shared-use commercial kitchen rental program and has begun successfully working with early-stage and established food entrepreneurs producing their products in the space. They look forward to reviewing their progress and financials at the designated times.
