# Food Web Kitchens

> Food Web Kitchens is a commercial kitchen rental marketplace that connects food entrepreneurs with certified kitchen space. Kitchen owners list underused capacity; renters search, book, and pay through a licensed, insured platform.

Food Web Network (foodweb.network) is the primary product site for the Food Web ecosystem. It serves two audiences: **kitchen renters** (food entrepreneurs, caterers, producers) who need licensed commercial kitchen time, and **kitchen owners** (restaurants, churches, community halls, legions, cafes) who want to monetize idle kitchen capacity. The platform handles kitchen discovery, availability calendars, bookings, Stripe payments, referral rewards, grant credits, and in-app messaging. Food Web is community-first and transparent on fees (12% platform fee on completed bookings for owners). Headquarters focus is Nova Scotia, Canada, with growing coverage. Support: support@foodweb.network.
