Dark days, slow afternoons, and after-close hours can all earn.
Between services and on closed days, your fully equipped commercial kitchen sits idle. List it on Food Web and rent it by the hour to ghost kitchen operators, caterers, and food entrepreneurs — insured, vetted, and approved by you.
Why restaurants choose Food Web
Spacious commercial kitchens can host additional stations while you’re open, or rent out entirely on closed days. Your biggest asset can work for you 24/7.
With tight restaurant margins, kitchen rentals provide a steady revenue stream that offsets fixed costs — income from space that would otherwise sit empty.
Your commercial-grade ovens, mixers, and prep stations are exactly what food entrepreneurs need — and they make your listing a premium space that commands higher rates.
Beyond the kitchen, your dining room can host pop-up dinners and special events. Renters who need both kitchen and front-of-house make your restaurant an ideal venue.

Start listingEvery hour you rent keeps money, meals, and skills in your local food economy — and helps a food entrepreneur cook legally. That's the web working.
Everything restaurant owners ask before listing their kitchen
Yes. Most restaurants list off-peak windows — mornings, dark days, and after close — so rentals never overlap with service. You set the calendar and block off any time with a few clicks.
Ghost kitchen operators, caterers, small-batch producers, and pop-up hosts — typically booking recurring evening or closed-day slots. You review every profile and approve every booking.
Nothing. There is no listing fee — Food Web takes 12% of completed bookings, the lowest among kitchen-sharing platforms. You keep 88% of every dollar earned.
Every rental includes pre- and post-rental inspection checklists, cleaning protocols, and a rating system. You can require security deposits and proof of insurance, and set custom house rules for your space.
Payments are processed automatically and deposited to your account within 48 hours of each completed booking, with detailed monthly reports for taxes and treasurers.
