Monetize your kitchen's downtime and support local food entrepreneurs.
Whether you run a café, restaurant, community hall, or church — if your space holds a food service permit, it can earn. List once, set your rules, and get paid securely.
Funded demand is waiting

The questions every kitchen owner asks first
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.
Any certified commercial kitchen can be listed, including community centres, churches, cafés, restaurants, food hubs, and shared-use facilities.
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.
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.
You can manage your kitchen's availability directly through your dashboard calendar, making it easy to block off times for personal use or maintenance.
You will need to provide proof of insurance, your kitchen's health permits, and any other required certifications to ensure compliance with provincial regulations.
