There are several challenges for chefs and food professionals to start their own businesses, including high overhead and access to commercial equipment, financing, and food costs. A commissary kitchen can help aspiring chefs by giving them access to equipment at a fraction of the cost, and a place to hone their craft and experiment with increasing volumes.
New Orleans Trap Kitchen is a commissary kitchen, or commercial kitchen for rent for multiple food professionals to prepare food onsite and sell offsite. Trap Kitchen will also offer ancillary business services that encourage growth for culinary artists ranging from home chefs to aspiring brick and mortar restauranteurs.
The kitchen’s clientele has purposefully been a mix of chefs from all backgrounds, and intentionally caters to providing women- and BIPOC-owned businesses an affordable, safe, and prosperous workspace.
