Watch-share the kitchen to fill life with more surprises

In 2007, Cindy Pickering and her mother wanted to start a business in their own kitchen, making delicious salsa sauce and selling it at the market and online. Unexpectedly, it was not long before the government inspectors came to the door.

Only then did she know that if she wanted to sell food to the public, the kitchen that made the food must pass the government's hygiene and safety inspection and must have the qualification to produce the food.

So Cindy spent some time and money improving her kitchen equipment and successfully applied for the qualification of a place for food production.

At this time, there are also some friends who run mobile dining cars around her, because they do not want to spend energy and money to apply for kitchen qualifications and follow-up long-term maintenance, so they ask for help from Cindy, hoping to rent her qualified kitchen to produce food.

In Florida, where Cindy is located, catering entrepreneurship is booming, and many mobile dining cars are in urgent need of qualified commercial kitchens, but such small personal businesses cannot support the investment in commercial kitchens, let alone get legal production qualifications.

Cindy smelled the business opportunity.

In 2008, Cindy founded Your Pro Kitchen in Florida to provide "shared kitchen" rental services to many customers who need production site qualifications, renting qualified kitchens to entrepreneurs to help them save the time and money required to apply.

The equipment of the shared kitchen is perfect, which can provide all kinds of cooking methods, such as frying, boiling, roasting, frying, steaming, and all kinds of qualified preparation, storage and disinfection equipment. Help customers save the cost of purchasing and maintaining equipment.

Cindy used to join the way to open 11 stores in Florida, serving a large number of local restaurants. Her clients range from housewives who love cake styling to professional chefs.

With the help of Your Pro Kitchen, many people have turned their interests into careers and successfully opened bakeries or other catering businesses.

For example, one of Cindy's early clients, Barry "s Gourmet Brownies, rented Your ProKitchen to make their delicious cakes. Within a few years, she went from a small personal business to a business with nearly 20000 square feet of commercial kitchens and 500000 brownies a day.

Your Pro Kitchen operates 24 hours a day, and convenient operators prepare food at any time, such as breakfast providers, at 4 or 5 a.m., so that guests can have a delicious hot breakfast early in the morning.

For "Your Pro Kitchen", it is leased to different customers in different periods to make the use of equipment and space more efficient.

In addition, there is classroom space to provide online celebrity chefs for classes to maximize the benefits of space rental. Not only that, Cindy also provides one-stop catering business services, from assisting in product packaging design, website construction, legal consulting services for government departments to apply for catering licenses, and so on.

Your Pro Kitchen has successfully assisted many catering entrepreneurs and attracted many people to contact Your Pro Kitchen in the early stages of their business, and further become loyal customers of the shared kitchen.

With the development of e-commerce, Your Pro Kitchen has recently provided website construction consulting and delivery services in cooperation with logistics operators to help those who sell only on the Internet to focus on the innovation and production of products.

Starting from her own experience, Cindy explored potential business opportunities in the market and successfully founded a shared kitchen business, which was more successful than her original idea of making salsa sauce with her mother to sell in the market.

However, "Your Pro Kitchen" is not so much a space-sharing renter or a model of the sharing economy as an incubator and dreamer of catering entrepreneurship. Because it is not only the equipment and space that really help entrepreneurs, but also a lot of support and assistance in the early stage of starting a business.
