I will go meet with the restaurant owners were I might be renting kitchen space from I know a lot of the stuff to do and not to do like become their employee or trade for baked goods so since I'm going for a flat fee deal or I won't do it what is reasonable and what is too much? $200 a month ok
You have to consider how many hours per month you expect to use the kitchen and then figure out how much you can reasonably afford per hour. The kitchen that I rent is $20 per hour. Some months this works out to be better than a flat monthly fee-other months I wish I had a $200 flat rent.
I have recently found a space to "rent" in a local gelato store. The deal we have worked out is that I will be selling him basic cakes @ cost to serve to his customers and I will be decorating his ice cream cakes for slighlty over cost. I think I have an amazing deal. The cakes that he will be selling to his customers allows him to mark up by the slice so, he is making money and it is cheap/free advertising for me. The restaurant is located on the main street ( we only have 3 streets downtown) and is beside the florist, the stationary store and the dollar store. I feel incredibly lucky that he is willing to do this for/with me.
Good luck with your space!!!!!
I rent space for $100.00 a month, but I rent from a caterer and unfortunately when she is using it I can't. So that puts me there at really odd hours and not real convenient. But I had to do it to get my license. I have been renting since last October but now I am in the process of building a kitchen onto my house and hopefull will be in it within a month or 2.
i'm renting a kitchen from a caterer. they are semi retired, so if they don't want to do a job, they don't book it.So I have a flat fee of $300/month. So my overhead is $300 plus insurance on the businessat $32.50/month. Not too bad. I do need to bring my mixer, but use all of their freezers, fridges, etc., and we're promoting each other too. I might do the desserts for their parties they book. So if you can get it for $200, go for it, but be sure to ask what else you will have to pay, if anything. And go through the space with them to see what you are allowed to use and not use and be sure to ask about times it is available to you. I'm blessed. The couple I'm renting from don't care when I'm in there or not(at this point
) I move in there on Sunday, so we'll see how it goes. Maybe see if they'll give you the first month rent free. I didn't ask, but they offered, so I jumped at it. Much cheaper than other places I looked at. Good Luck.
