Benefits of Commissary Kitchen

Our commissary kitchen is perfect for new businesses due to the lower upfront costs and reduced risks and responsibilities. By using a shared commissary kitchen, our members can launch and expand their businesses without the large investment and overhead of a private space.

HC Commissary is the perfect choice for new and growing businesses as well as established caterers and small batch production operators.

We pride ourselves in having a clean, well-maintained kitchen, well-equipped to meet your food production needs.

Benefits of Ghost Kitchen

As the coronavirus pandemic and government mandates continue to evolve, we have seen a paradigm shift in how consumer preferences have increased using online grocery shopping and food delivery services.

The online food delivery options such as SkipTheDishes, Door Dash, and Uber Eats are now the mainstream norm which will continue to grow in demand.

We expect restaurants will be unable to maintain their level of service to their dine-in customers while fulfilling the demands of food delivery. Mark Cuban has been a strong proponent that restaurant businesses need to rethink their workflows. The solution is to contact Holy Cow and establish a Ghost kitchen or virtual kitchen.

WHAT IS A GHOST KITCHEN?

Ghost kitchen are restaurants without the dining space, focus solely on online food delivery. HC Commissary offers the space and equipment necessary to allow you to operate your virtual restaurant business.

Prep Stations

We offer large prep stations (shared or private) as well as a separate station for washing and prep of vegetables.

Storage, Refrigeration and Freezing

Our facility features a large walk-in refrigerator and a commercial freezer. Members have access to secured dry storage lockers.
