Co-Working kitchens range from other restaurants offering kitchen space at certain times and days to large commissary kitchens open to all kinds of food entrepreneurs. Co-Working Kitchens serve a variety of clients from small bakers to  national brands.

Shared Kitchens cater primarily to bakers, food truck operators, retail food startups, and caterers. Other Kitchens are designed specifically for delivery-only concepts.
