To have someone use your kitchen?

Or better put, what would you pay to use someone's kitchen?

Would you pay/charge per cake, per month, per week?


Thanks!

I'm been wondering that,too. I would love to find a licensed kitchen to rent and was wondering what the rent would be since I could only use it after 5 and on weekends.

Curious to see any replies.

I used to rent my kitchen from time to time. I am normally gone during the day so I charged about $25 for 4-6 hours. They have to get approved to work in my kitchen, that requires they pay for a license. I also require that they have insurance.

You could get a percentage of the cakes/baked goods that they make. I have heard people on here discussing doing that but i really dont know. If i were to rent a place i know that would prob. work well. I know that personally i would not make a large amount of cakes and would not be able to pay a lot but if the percentage agreement was made, the more cakes i made, and the more time i spent in the kitchen, the more the bakery owner/owner of space would make.

I'm curious on how the percentage of cake sales works. If you rent your kitchen to someone who does cakes just once in a blue moon, is it really worth your while as a kitchen owner? If the kitchen owner gets 10% off of cake sales and the baker does one cake for $50, is it worth having someone using your utilities and equipment for 4 +/- hours for just $5.00? Is there a minimum cost then a percentage?

Strictly a curiousity question.....

Yep...this is the problem dh has...

I'm just looking for a "fair" amount /month. I realise that there are off months and it will seem like alot, but for those months where there is more going on, then it would be a good deal KWIM?
