One World Kitchen can be rented for both food preparation and food packing. Pricing is determined in several ways: number of hours used, time of day, and time of year.

One World Kitchen is here to help emerging businesses grow, existing businesses expand, and pre-venture ideas come to fruition. We are an organization that promotes the growth and development of entrepreneurial ideas. Our kitchen is the solution for those individuals seeking a licensed commercial kitchen with lowered risk and minimized start up costs. The kitchen is designed to accommodate your needs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our goal is to provide a flexible working opportunity for:

  a.. Personal Chefs 
  b.. Caterers 
  c.. Bakers 
  d.. Food Cart Vendors 
  e.. Packagers 
  f.. Special Event Coordinators 
  g.. Cooking Classes

There are a number of requirements that need to be completed before you can start operating from One World Kitchen. Each of these is explained below.

If you would like to download a printable version of these requirements, click   HERE

If you are interested in using our kitchen for a single event (a dinner party, a team-building event, fundraiser, or private event like this), please contact us to discuss your options, as you may not need to be fully permitted.

Liability Insurance - liability insurance of $1M with "One World Kitchen LLC" list as additional insured. While $1M sounds expensive, this might be available for only a few hundred dollars. Moreover, most wholesalers and retailers will require you to have this amount. Check with your insurance broker on your exact needs - if you need a broker, we can recommend one. 

Food Managers Certificate - this is a requirement of the Washoe County Health District for any food business. To obtain this, you will need to complete a course, or show evidence that a course has been completed. Generally, only one person per business is required to complete this course.

Business License - this is a requirement of the City of Sparks for any food business. Essentially, it permits you to carry on the business of manufacturing and selling food. To apply for the permit, simply complete the application and submit to the City of Sparks.

Washoe County Health Inspection - this is a requirement of the Washoe County Health District that requests the Washoe County Health Department to inspect our premises. The inspection must be completed before the Business License will be issued. Typically, this form will be submitted at the same time as the application for a Business License. The Washoe County Health Department will then contact you to arrange a time for the inspection to occur. When the Washoe County Health Department contacts you, let us know and we will make arrangements so that you and the official from the Washoe County Health Department can access the building. There is no need for you to book time for the inspection, nor is there a need for someone from One World Kitchen to be present. Even though our facility has been inspected multiple times, the Washoe County Health Department requires this step to be completed by every business requesting a Business License.

Contract with One World Kitchen - A contract can be obtained by appointment with One World Kitchen

Signed Copies of the Policy Handbook - this details the rules, regulations and policies associated with actually using the facility. The handbook can be obtained by making an appointment 

A Check for $250 Made Payable to One World Kitchen LLC - this will be used as a security deposit. Your deposit will be returned in full at the end your contracted time. if we need to make claim on your security deposit (e.g. for issues around cleaning, or payments) these claims will be deducted from your deposit.

All paper work must be completed before you can schedule time in the kitchen. We strongly recommend you put all this paperwork together in a single folder. Please bring two signed copies of all the aforementioned documents. One Copy will remain on file at One World Kitchen. The City in particular requires us to enforce these regulations very strictly. Without all of the appropriate paperwork, we cannot allow you to start working in the kitchen.

About Me

I started this site so my mom could get news about her grandkids without me having to walk her through the process of trying to open and email attachment several times a week.  Since then she has passed away and I’ve fallen off the blog wagon, but I’m inspired to pick it up again now.
