Our food system used to be a network.
Now it's a supply chain.
We're rebuilding food infrastructure as a distributed network — licensed kitchens, food maps, open data, and the people who use them. Your kitchen is a node in that web.
Listing your kitchen, answered
The questions every kitchen owner asks first
How do I list my kitchen on Food Web?
Listing your kitchen is simple! Create an account, provide details about your kitchen (equipment, availability, and pricing), and upload the required permits and insurance. Once verified, your kitchen will be visible to renters.
What types of kitchens can be listed?
Any certified commercial kitchen can be listed, including community centres, churches, cafés, restaurants, food hubs, and shared-use facilities.
How do Kitchen Owners get paid?
Payments are processed through the platform and deposited directly into your bank account, within 7 days after the booking itself occurs. Payments are released upon a successful booking taking place.
How do I set my kitchen's rental price?
Kitchen owners choose their hourly rate. This is set on the Kitchen Dashboard after you sign up.
Most Kitchens set a rate between $20-$35/hour depending on equipment, location, and availability. Additionaly, Food Web gives kitchens the ability to monetize storage space including short/long term dry, cold, frozen, and equipment storage.
How do I block off unavailable times for my kitchen?
You can manage your kitchen's availability directly through your dashboard calendar, making it easy to block off times for personal use or maintenance.
What documents do I need to provide to rent my kitchen?
You will need to provide proof of insurance, your kitchen's health permits, and any other required certifications to ensure compliance with provincial regulations.
Does Food Web help me attract renters?
Yes. Food Web promotes your listing through a dedicated listing page, marketing, targeted outreach, partnerships, and referrals from local food networks.
Can I approve or decline renters?
Yes. Kitchen owners review renter profiles, certifications, and messages before approving any booking request.
Do I need extra insurance to list my kitchen?
No additional insurance is required, but we recommend confirming your current liability policy covers rental use. Many already do.
What if I have allergies or ingredient restrictions?
Kitchens disclose allergen restrictions or certifications like gluten-free or vegan. Always check listing details before booking.
