Frequently asked questions
Can I rent a commercial kitchen by the hour in India?
Yes. Many restaurants and cloud kitchens rent idle hours or shifts. Typical rates are about ₹300–800 per hour depending on city and equipment.
Who should use an hourly kitchen?
Home bakers scaling up, caterers with event orders, tiffin services with morning-only cooking, and new brands testing a menu before taking a full lease.
Do I need my own FSSAI licence for an hourly kitchen?
Yes, your food business needs its own FSSAI registration or licence, and the shared premises must meet FSSAI hygiene norms. Confirm this with the kitchen owner first.
