Shared Kitchen Workshop 101
April 6 – 8, 2025
C’Mon Inn Bozeman
Please join us for this workshop on shared-use commercial kitchens, connect with other kitchens and organizations working on impactful food systems projects, and get your kitchen project to the next step.
This workshop is made possible by the Food Corridor, a boutique software company with strong connections to the shared-use kitchen community of practice, Mission West, and Hopa Mountain.
This workshop will be facilitated by the Food Corridor. Through their kitchen management tools, nationwide kitchen directory and lead generation site (The Kitchen Door), and active online community of shared kitchen operators (Network for Incubator and Commissary Kitchens, aka the NICK), they have learned about best practices and strategies to support kitchen operators at all stages. They are excited to share these industry insights with you to support the important work you’re doing in your communities.
The final agenda for this workshop is going to be shaped by you. We ask that you indicate your interest in participating in this workshop by January 31, so you can talk directly with Tyler Sangermano at the Food Corridor to shape the topics that will be presented. Here is a sample of topics that could be covered:
• Project planning and budgeting
• Finding renters and kitchen users
• Identifying funding sources
• Providing incubation services and business training
• Pricing structures and billing
• Building out a physical kitchen space
• Marketing your kitchen
• Making connections with the shared kitchen community
• Kitchen operation logistics (scheduling, billing, document management)
• Kitchen culture (policies and rules)
