Discover how cafes, community centres & churches can rent their kitchens and earn extra money: covering permits, insurance, and logistics.

Across Nova Scotia, many licensed commercial kitchens sit underused during the week in cafés, community centres, churches, legions, and other shared spaces. At the same time, small food businesses entrepreneurs are often struggling to find affordable/part-time kitchen space to operate.

This webinar explores how existing kitchens can safely and responsibly be shared with local food businesses, helping kitchen owners generate extra income while supporting the growth of local food entrepreneurship.

During this session we’ll discuss:

How shared kitchens work
Permits, regulations, and food safety considerations
Liability insurance and risk management
Practical logistics like scheduling, storage, and kitchen access
Best practices for renting kitchen space to outside food businesses

This session is primarily designed for kitchen owners/managers & ecosystem partners , including:

Cafés and restaurants with extra kitchen capacity
Community centres
Churches and faith organizations
Legions and service clubs
Fire halls and municipal facilities
Economic development officers, municipal staff, and non-profits interested in supporting local food businesses and shared infrastructure.

Food entrepreneurs looking for kitchen space to rent are welcome to attend, but this session focuses primarily on the perspective of kitchen owners and organizations considering sharing their space.

This session will be hosted live on Zoom. A link to join will be sent to registered participants before the event.

The webinar will begin with a short presentation introducing the shared kitchen model and key considerations for organizations thinking about renting their kitchen space.
The second half of the session will be open for questions and discussion, giving participants the opportunity to ask about their specific kitchen, organization, or situation.
Our goal is to make this a practical and interactive conversation, not just a presentation.
