Cooking Space – Our Kitchens

Shared Kitchen

Our fully equipped shared kitchens are located in Footscray, North Melbourne, Port Melbourne and Coburg. These can be rented on a casual part time basis. All we ask is a minimum commitment of 8 hours per month. We have taken on the investment risk of setting up a kitchen and reduced it to an all-inclusive hourly cost.

Shared Kitchen Benefits

01 Rent Not Own

You pay for the kitchen only when you use it. When it is your turn to use the kitchen, you have exclusive use of it and all the equipment. After all, it is the equipment that generates profit, not the ownership. Why pay for something when you don’t use it all the time?

02 Flexible Schedule

Whether it is a part time or casual booking you are after, we can help. We focus on regular users and give pricing discounts accordingly. You can access the facility 24/7 to pick things up or drop things off without charge. Bookings are subject to availability with a minimum 8 hours per month booking commitment.

03 What’s Included

The rental rate is all you pay, everything else is included. We pay all utilities, outgoings, insurance, NBN access and bins collection. You just BYO small utensils, but we provide cleaning equipment and chemicals. We also repair and maintain the equipment. It is truly worry free.

04 Storage

It is a busy kitchen! As such we have to discourage long term storage. If you only need to store overnight or couple of days, complimentary storage usually can be arranged subject to availability.

05 Rental Bond

No personal guarantees required, just a refundable rental bond subject to our rental terms and conditions. As long as you clean up and there are no damages, the bond is fully refunded.
