What benefits to Club Kitchen Members enjoy?

By working with our industry partners and combining the purchasing power of multiple operations under a single roof, Club Kitchen has negotiated preferred pricing for services like 3rd Party Delivery Commission Fees, Sysco and GFS specialty pricing programs, Purchase Rebate Programs, Janitorial, Waste Removal, Smallwares Packages from Russel Hendrix, Repair & Maintenance programs, and more. By working together Club Kitchen can offer significantly lower operating costs to our individual members.

How will my customers find me?

We encourage all of our members to work with our partners Uber Eats, Skip the Dishes, and DoorDash to reach as many new customers as possible. We will also have a direct ordering link to each of our members ordering platforms embedded within our Club Kitchen website, which we will be actively marketing on your behalf.

What are Shared Operating Costs?

Shared operating costs are the costs incurred for operating the Club Kitchen space. These costs would typically be billed directly to you in a brick and mortar location. Because we are able to split these costs across multiple brands there is significant savings in overhead. This includes janitorial, operating systems, facilities management, waste removal, R&M, FOH staff, and more. Each kitchen unit is individually metered for utilities and will be billed back their share of usage on a monthly basis.
