Why churches choose Food Web
A kitchen built for hospitality can support the whole neighbourhood.
Extend your outreach
Providing certified kitchen space to new food businesses is practical, everyday ministry — it helps neighbours earn a living and keeps your building serving people all week.
No burden on volunteers
Food Web manages bookings, payments, insurance verification, and documentation, so your office staff and volunteer teams aren’t running a rental business.
Fund ministry and upkeep
Rental income supports programs, outreach, and the building fund — new revenue without another fundraiser or an increase in giving.
A building that stays busy
An active, well-used facility draws people in. Hosting food entrepreneurs and pop-up events makes your church a visible part of the local food community.
More than the kitchen
Every part of your church facility can earn.
List what makes sense for your space — renters book exactly what they need.
The kitchen itself
Hourly rental of your certified commercial kitchen on the weekdays it sits unused.
Your equipment
Commercial ranges, ovens, and prep equipment are exactly what growing food businesses need.
Dry & cold storage
Rent shelf, fridge, or freezer space to recurring renters who produce weekly.
The fellowship hall
Rent your hall for community meals, pop-up dinners, markets, and workshops.

Every hour you rent keeps money, meals, and skills in your local food economy — and helps a food entrepreneur cook legally. That's the web working.
Church kitchen rental, answered
Everything church boards and facility managers ask before listing
Can we still use the kitchen for services, funerals, and church events?
Absolutely. You control the calendar — block off services, holidays, funerals, and church programming with a few clicks, and rent only the hours you choose.
Who rents church kitchens?
Farmers' market vendors, small caterers, meal prep services, and cooking instructors — typically booking recurring weekly slots. You review every profile and approve every booking.
Can we set requirements about what renters make in our kitchen?
Yes. You set house rules for your space — including restrictions on alcohol, specific ingredients, or types of production — and every renter agrees to them before their booking is approved.
How much does it cost to list on Food Web?
Nothing. There is no listing fee — Food Web takes 12% of completed bookings, the lowest among kitchen-sharing platforms. You keep 88% of every dollar earned.
How and when do we get paid?
Payments are processed automatically and deposited to your account within 48 hours of each completed booking, with detailed monthly reports for taxes and treasurers.
