How kitchen credit works

Your fee is the budget you spend on kitchen time

you pay

$300

The monthly fee for Starter. Builder is $600, Producer $1,200.

you book with

$300

Credit lands the day you are billed and resets at the start of every month, which keeps the rule simple.

That books 15 hours of prep, 10 hours of bakery, or 7 hours on the hot line, at day rates of $20, $30 and $40. Nights run 40% off, so the same credit goes further. Spend it across any of the six kitchens, in any mix, until it runs out.

Run past your credit and keep booking at flex rates, 20% above the credit rate, billed the following month. Planned capacity costs less, flex capacity a little more, and production keeps going.

Tell us what you're making

Choose a plan, or book a tour first to see the kitchens. New memberships carry a one-time $250 signup fee and a refundable security deposit equal to one month of your plan, returned when you leave. Onboarding includes hands-on help with your health department paperwork so you can start producing legally as soon as possible. From there your first month of credit is ready and you book your first hours.

Your fee is your kitchen budget. Every dollar you pay comes back as booking credit that month, at full value. Starter is $300 and gives you $300 of kitchen credit, Builder $600, Producer $1,200. You spend it on the kitchens you book, at day or night rates.

Credit resets at the start of every billing month. That keeps the rule simple: your fee equals your credit, every month. If you often have credit left over, a smaller plan may fit better, and we will tell you so.

Keep booking. Hours beyond your credit bill at flex rates, 20% above the credit rate, so $24 prep, $36 bakery and $48 hot line, with nights still 40% off. They appear on your next invoice. If that happens three months in a row, upgrading saves you money and we will reach out to say so.

Yearly takes 18% off any plan and your credit stays at full face value. If things change, the remaining balance converts to any plan at face value. Bank transfer payments are fee-free.

Any size works. Starter is built for businesses at the beginning: farmers market bakers, caterers testing demand, packaged goods founders doing their first runs. As you grow, Builder and Producer are a 5-day notice away, and we will run the numbers with you.

Yes to both. A freeze costs $150 a month for up to three consecutive months in any rolling twelve, and your keycard and storage stay active. Upgrades take 5 days notice: ask by the 25th. Downgrades take 15: ask by the 15th. Every change lands on the 1st.

Your plan bills on its monthly or yearly cycle and the credit is available straight away. Anything above your credit, plus storage above your storage credit, appears on the following month's invoice, so everything settles in one place.

Once your agreement is signed you get your own login and key. Log in, pick the kitchen and the hours you want, and the booking draws against your monthly credit. Hours are reserved first come, first served, and the building is open around the clock. For a one-off or drop-in session, 24 hours notice is usually enough if the time is free.

The kitchens are open 24/7, so as long as the time is available you can book for as long as you need.

Le Gourmet Factory kitchens are fully equipped. Bring your ingredients and any special equipment you use.

We will work with you. Tell us when a big order is coming and we will plan the time and space you need together.

Yes. Leave the kitchen the way you would like to find it: dishes washed, surfaces wiped, floor swept and mopped. Walls and floor mats are on us.

Contact us right away.

Yes. Call us to set up an appointment and we will plan it with you.

  • A valid ServSafe Food Manager certificate.
  • Proof of liability insurance with at least $1 million of coverage, naming Le Gourmet Factory as additional insured.
  • A signed operating agreement.
  • The one-time $250 signup fee and a refundable security deposit equal to one month of your plan.

A food safety manager certificate can be obtained through ServSafe at servsafe.com. Enter your zip code and the classes in your area will be listed. You can also call your local health department to see when they are running a course.

Le Gourmet Factory keeps the facility up to date with all health codes and requirements. Every member is responsible for following local health codes and the directions of health officials while at the facility.

It works like kitchen credit, with its own budget. Your plan includes $100 to $300 of monthly storage credit that draws against the catalog: dry shelf $20, walk-in fridge space $30, walk-in freezer space $40, lockable cage $50. Anything beyond the credit bills monthly at those same prices.

Storage depends on availability and is assigned in order of signup, so joining earlier means better placement. Short-term storage is available too; ask the team.
