What is a Commissary Kitchen?

A commissary kitchen is a licensed commercial kitchen where food businesses can prepare and store food. Commissary kitchens are more affordable for small businesses allowing them to forgo building and operating a commercial kitchen of their own. Food businesses also use commissary kitchens because they’re legally required to prepare and cook food products that will be sold to the public in a licensed commercial kitchen.

Cook Tucson is a dedicated commissary kitchen & culinary incubator which provides food businesses a place to get started, to grow and to thrive. Whether you are an aspiring entrepreneur that needs a licensed kitchen or an existing small business that needs more production room, we provide the equipment and licensed commercial kitchen space you need 24 hours a day / 7 days a week.

  • The shared kitchen offers more than 900 square feet of professional cooking equipment and dedicated prep space.
  • The studio offers private kitchen space for catering, cooking demonstrations, classes or meetings.
  • Plus, Cook Tucson offers affordable services to assist with business consulting, graphic design, website development and maintenance, advertising and social media.
