Common questions.

Read all questions
  • A commissary is a licensed commercial kitchen you rent instead of building your own. You get inspected, health-approved production space, so you can legally make food to sell without the cost of your own build-out.

  • Retail kitchens, wholesale kitchens, and USDA-compliant kitchens, plus cold prep stations. Which types are available depends on the location, so check the page for the commissary you are interested in.

  • Camarillo and San Luis Obispo. Camarillo is a USDA certified facility with three commercial kitchens and two prep stations. San Luis Obispo has four commercial kitchens including one USDA and one wholesale.

  • Yes, at Camarillo and San Luis Obispo. Camarillo has 23 truck spots and two wash out stations. San Luis Obispo has 20 spots and two truck wash stations. Both are equipped with water and electricity. Redondo Beach does not offer truck parking.

  • Yes. All three locations list cold and dry storage along with equipment storage, so you are not moving stock in and out for every production run. Ask the location you are interested in about walk-in cooler and freezer availability.

  • San Luis Obispo has 1,500 square feet of tasting and event space. Call that location to check availability for launches, pop-ups, and private bookings.
