Contracts
One agreement covers every renter, whether you book by the hour or choose a monthly plan. Here's what you'll sign, the key terms, and how signing works. Read it all before your tour so there are no surprises.
What you'll sign
Kitchen Use License Agreement: the terms for using the kitchen, equipment and storage.
Schedule A: your plan, storage and deposit.
Code of conduct and kitchen rules: how we share the kitchen and keep it clean and safe.
Storage and rack rules.
Insurance and document requirements.
Employee list, or a statement that you have no employees.
You'll sign the onboarding checklist later, at your equipment onboarding session.
Key terms in plain language
Plans and storage are prepaid on the 1st of each month by automatic payment. Bank transfer has no added fee; credit cards carry a 2% card fee.
Deposit: $500 for pay as you go, one month's plan for monthly plans, or one month's storage for storage only. A one-time $25 setup and onboarding fee applies.
Book at least 2 hours at a time, up to 60 days ahead. Cancel free up to 48 hours before; later cancellations and no-shows are charged.
Clean and sanitize your work area before and after every booking, sweep and mop the floors you used, and empty the floor drain baskets. We supply sanitizer, bleach, dish soap, hand soap, paper towels, spray bottles, mops and scrub brushes. You bring your own tools, small equipment and other supplies.
Carry general and product liability insurance naming Chico's Cooking Place as additional insured, and workers' compensation if you have employees. You insure your own product and supplies, including against freezer failures and power outages.
Use only the equipment you've been trained on. Report any damage right away. You pay for damage caused by misuse; we pay for normal wear and tear.
This is a shared kitchen that handles peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, wheat, soy and sesame, so products made here can't be labeled allergen-free.
Everyone working in the kitchen must be 18 or older and follow our code of conduct.
Monthly plans can be ended with 30 days' written notice; pay as you go can be ended anytime.
How signing works
1. Tour the kitchen and choose your plan.
2. Upload your documents in your renter account.
3. Once your documents are approved, we email you your agreement, already filled in with your plan and storage.
4. Review it and sign electronically on your phone or computer. We countersign within one business day and email you the signed copy.
5. Set up payment, complete onboarding, and start booking.
