How To Choose a Private or Shared Use Kitchen Rental in London

• Workspace – A Private kitchen offers more room for commercial equipment and appliances as well as for dry and cold storage. A private kitchen also provides more room for staff and helps to avoid any conflict in the kitchen.

• Exclusive Use – Working the hours that chefs do, in particular as they are building their business or increasing their production capabilities, a commercial or catering kitchen space with your own private space offers the room and freedom to work as they wish.

• Dry and cold storage – Many private commercial kitchen spaces and also a  dark kitchen, will benefit from dry and cold storage within the kitchen. This is essential to operating efficiently within the kitchen.

• The flexibility of space – You can use the space how you please and can open and operate at any time during licensed hours. 

• Control of space – You have more space in a private kitchen to run your restaurant business and allocate space in a way that suits you best allowing you total control over your business and the option of more space when the time comes to scale your business.

• Lower overhead and running costs – The owner of the kitchen owner will look after more of the admin aspect of running a kitchen including food standard agency certificates, late night, and alcohol licenses. The majority of the kitchens available on Share There will also include utilities and are licensed with general repairs included.  These costs are then rolled up into one monthly affordable payment. 

• Regulation and Compliance –  Commercial kitchens meet the food standards agency and any local regulations that may be in place and cover the preparation and storage of food types served to paying customers.

Shared use kitchen rentals; The Benefits

• Shorter lease lengths and licenses – Shared kitchen space doesn’t require a long-term lease. A business will only pay for the actual time that they use the kitchen – whether that’s by the hour or even a time-shared arrangement. This saves money as you are only using the space on a pay-as-you-go basis. This is important if you only intend to trade for limited periods of time or have set opening hours. For example pizza delivery at night or a breakfast delivery service. 

• Mutual Business Relationships –  Renting a shared space, you become part of a community of other chefs and professionals. When you share a kitchen you can benefit from the advice of other business owners utilising each other’s experience and advice, with some businesses leveraging the opportunity to share staffing and help to even out trading peaks and troughs. 

• Cost-effective and reduced overheads – When operating a dark kitchen alongside another business, this helps to reduce each other’s costs as you are sharing not just the space cost but also the overheads attached to this. Some kitchen sharers also share the cost of direct-to-consumer delivery. A kitchen share or timeshare is the easiest way to reduce your overheads as an existing space owner or a business ready to share space and ultimately, each increases profitability and lower overheads.
