Many Types of Businesses Benefit from Hourly Kitchens

Getting Started is Easier Than You Think
There are just four simple steps to take before you rent an hourly kitchen:
- Obtain your business license.
- You’ll do this through the city government: Long Beach or Los Angeles.
- Receive a permit from environmental health (we’ll help!)
- Once you have your business license, contact our team who can walk you through the permitting process, assist with your application to ensure accuracy, and schedule your inspection.
- Get food safety certified
- You’ll need at least one Certified Food Manager and a valid Food Handler Card for anyone who will be handling food.
- Secure insurance
- Before you can begin renting, you’ll need to provide proof of general liability insurance. You can see the coverage levels required to rent at Partake Collective here, and even purchase a policy though a broker our operators work with regularly.
And that’s it! Once you’re set up to rent, you can reserve our hourly kitchens anytime via our convenient online portal. It’s simple and convenient.
