The Sacramento County Health Department requires one for each individual business. Getting a Food Handler’s Permit is not difficult. You will need to either study the information on your own, or take a short half-day class (this is what most people do) and then take the required exam to receive your certification. We keep our kitchens extremely clean and sanitary and expect you to leave our kitchen like you found it.
We do provide most equipment, but you will need to bring any specialized equipment that you might need specifically for your business. Once you have toured our kitchens you will have a clearer idea. Here is a list of what is in each Kitchen.

Each member is required to leave the kitchen (including floors, sinks, work tables, stoves, etc.) spotless after they finish their allocated time. We expect each member to leave the kitchen and equipment as you would want to find it. We take care of the deep cleaning, but please be respectful and leave it clean.

We also allocate towels, stainless steel scrubbers and scrubbing pads for cleanup. Sanitizers and degreasers are provided with the rental.
