Yes! Depending on the type of business you have we will allow you to use the kitchen at the same time as another renter. We have two distinct sections of our rental kitchen, the main kitchen and the prep area. The main kitchen is about 500 sq. ft. and contains everything you would find in a professional kitchen, ovens, range, hood, commercial mixer, fryer, etc. The prep area is about 2000 sq. ft. and has a dozen stainless steel tables, a 3-compartment sink, and a large ice machine. This area is perfect for prep and light cooking. Depending on the type of business you have we allow one business in each area of the kitchen at a time. You only have to get on the calendar if you want to book the kitchen for a specific amount of time and your business will be the sole business in the space. If you book time on the calendar you are required to pay for the time whether you use it or not. Many of our tenants like to book time weekly with our kitchen manager, as they go, so they are only paying for time that they use.
You can leave at any time. You just need to give a 30 notice and we will prorate accordingly. So if you give your notice on April 1 then your last day would be April 30. You are not required to use the kitchen during that time but you are required to pay the minimum rent until your last day in the kitchen.
