Culinary Workspaces™ provides scheduled access to professional, modular commercial kitchen facilities designed for independent food operators; it is important to note that Culinary Workspaces™ is not a commissary kitchen, ghost kitchen, co-working kitchen, or food business operator and does not prepare, sell, store, or handle food on behalf of our members. All operators using Culinary Workspaces™ facilities are strictly independent entities and no partnership, joint venture, or employer-employee relationship is created through the use of our facilities; consequently, members maintain sole and absolute responsibility for food safety, sanitation, production, handling, and labeling, as well as all employment practices and full compliance with all applicable federal, state, county, and municipal laws, health codes, and environmental regulations.

Access to all facilities is strictly membership-based and contingent upon the successful verification of all required permits, licenses, insurance certifications, and regulatory approvals. Reservations are granted on a scheduled, non-overlapping basis to ensure workspace integrity, and all facility features, amenities, shift structures, pricing, and availability are subject to change at any time without prior notice. Culinary Workspaces™ makes no guarantees regarding the continuity of access, specific business outcomes, revenue projections, or the likelihood of regulatory approval for any specific operator or culinary concept.

Facilities may consist of Mobile Food Units (MFUs), modular kitchens, or other licensed commercial environments; members acknowledge that regulatory interpretations of these environments can vary significantly by jurisdiction, individual inspector, or governing agency. It is the operator’s sole responsibility to confirm their specific concept’s compliance and secure necessary approvals before commencing operations. This website utilizes AI-assisted content for marketing purposes; visual representations are conceptual and do not constitute legal or regulatory advice.

Jurisdiction: All legal disputes arising from this agreement or use of facilities shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas, with exclusive forum selection in Harris County, Texas. Participants waive all rights to mass arbitration or class action proceedings.
