Our Mission
We give commercial kitchens the tools they need to better serve their clients. Our matchmaking platforms connect kitchen partners with equipment, ingredients, packaging, recipe tools, and other resources.
Commercial Kitchens sits at the Innovate phase of the Alliance's Innovate · Create · Launch framework — the entry point for food entrepreneurs moving from idea to first production. We help kitchens attract those entrepreneurs, and we help entrepreneurs find the right kitchen.
The Alliance Framework
The full path from kitchen concept to retail shelf — Commercial Kitchens is your starting point.
This is where Commercial Kitchens lives. Helping entrepreneurs take their ideas from concept to first production in a licensed, shared commercial kitchen space.
When you're ready to scale beyond your kitchen, the Alliance connects you to pilot plants, food innovation centers, and contract manufacturers.
Getting your product on shelves through the Conzumables retail network, specialty retail channels, and the Alliance's brand placement programs.
For Kitchen Operators
Four pillars of support for kitchen operators who join the Alliance network.
Access the full Alliance network — pilot plants, co-packers, and food innovation centers when your clients are ready to scale.
Connect with local suppliers, equipment vendors, ingredient distributors, and packaging partners in your region.
Offer your clients structured incubation paths — from first batch to commercial production — backed by the Alliance framework.
Get listed in our directory, promoted through Alliance channels, and connected to trade events, farmers markets, and food festivals.
For Food Entrepreneurs
Starting a food business? A commercial kitchen is your first step. CommercialKitchens.org is the most comprehensive directory of shared-use, licensed commercial kitchen spaces in the country — organized by state and county so you can find exactly what's near you.
Beyond just finding a space, we connect you to the Alliance framework — helping you navigate from your first batch all the way to getting your brand on retail shelves.
How It Works for EntrepreneursSearch Tools
We created the Search By County Tool to help food industry start-ups find the ideal commercial kitchen in their area. With kitchens organized by all 3,000+ US counties, you can pinpoint spaces close to your home, your target market, or your distribution hub.
The county-level search is unique in the industry — most directories only offer city or state search. Ours goes deeper.
The Contract Manufacturing Alliance
CommercialKitchens.org is one of 8 arms of the Contract Manufacturing Alliance — founded by the Contract Packaging Association (est. 1992) and the Co-Packing Network (100-year heritage).
