Unlocking Shared Kitchens Webinar (Thursday evenings)

If you manage a commercial kitchen (in a café, restaurant, church, community centre, market, or food hub), you may have unused time in your space that could be supporting local food entrepreneurs.

Each week, the Food Web team hosts an open drop-in session for kitchen owners, operators & ecosystem partners to explore how shared kitchen use works and what’s needed to do it confidently and safely.

In these sessions, we’ll cover:
• How shared kitchens help grow the local food economy
• What’s involved in renting out your kitchen (scheduling, safety, agreements)
• How to earn additional revenue from your kitchen during downtime
• Practical steps to make sharing easier and more manageable
• How Food Web supports kitchen owners with workflows, clarity, and structure

Whether your goal is to strengthen your community, better use your existing space, or monetize your kitchen in a values-aligned way, these webinars provide a supportive place to learn and ask questions.
