FAQS
Absolutely! Please keep in mind that we cannot show the kitchen if it is currently occupied due to health department regulations. Our Stations are located next to one another. Specialty equipment is available, including 20 Qt Mixers, Robot Coupe and large gallon size blender, 12" Slicer, etc. Daily Reach in cooler space is also provided with rental. If needed, locked cold storage is available for an additional fee.
Once you have decided to move forward we will send you a link to sign up for our kitchens. We will contact you right away so our Kitchen Manager can set up a private meeting with you to tour the kitchens, discuss your needs and scheduling.
Yes. Full time status consists of 120 hours per month and includes all amenities and discounted rates are available. Contact us for availability.

There are no monthly minimums for one time use clients. However, if 24 Hour Kitchens needs to sign off on a commissary health permit, $160 per month is the minimum. There is a 2 hour minimum for booking of any kitchen space.
Depends. You do not have to have a health permit to work in our kitchens. We are a fully licensed, health department approved facility. Permits are your responsibility. If you are a caterer, you will need a catering permit. If you are a Mobile Food Facility you will need that permit. If you only sell at farmers markets, you will most likely need a commissary verification form signed by us from the health department. You will need a valid food managers certification and you staff will need valid food handlers cards. Here is where we reccommend getting your certification...Premier Food Safety
If space permits, you may start right away. Application, payment and scheduling will be available online and our kitchen manager will be in touch.
The Sacramento County Health Department requires one for each individual business. Getting a Food Handler’s Permit is not difficult. Here is a link. 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 and smallwares that you might need specifically for your business. Once you have toured our kitchens you will have a clearer idea of what equipment you should bring.
Yes, although storage is limited, all “full time” (120+ hours per month) members will receive a locked metro rack in our walkin and a locked dry storage rack. For an additional fee, refrigeration and dry storage cages can be rented by the month or night and come with a lock. Here are our Rates. Overnight rates are $10/night for 1 cold reach in and $6/night for dry storage. To rent monthly storage space you must be on at least a 15 hour plan.
Yes. You should try to schedule your food or packaging deliveries during your scheduled time in the kitchen. We will try to accommodate you in accepting your deliveries for you in your absence but this is not guaranteed.
Each station is designated and when it is your scheduled time, your station is exclusively yours. Each Station can accommodate up to 3 people. You can bring your own staff to help you, but remember, each staff member needs to have a valid food handlers permit. There are 4 stations on the line and you will have company in other stations.
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 are closed between 2-5am for deep cleaning of the floors on Tuesdays. If you wish to rent a kitchen during this time slot, arrangements can be made in advance. We have a common mop sink for each member to use during their allotted time slot. We provide all cleaning supplies and chemicals. We also allocate towels, stainless steel scrubbers and scrubbing pads for cleanup. Sanitizers and degreasers are provided with the rental.
