Shared kitchen facility opens in Truckee

Kitchen Collab, a member-based commercial kitchen makerspace, is now open in Truckee.

Membership offers 24/7 access to workspace, equipment and steward services. It is designed to help small culinary businesses grow and thrive. The building features a drive bay that allows caterers, food trucks and others to load and unload product into the kitchen space. Private event space, shared work space, and an educational library are also on-site.

The 1,800 square foot kitchen space was  designed with three hot lines, 11 prep spaces, a 26 x 10 walk-in cooler and access to 1,200 pounds of ice per day. Of the 11 prep spaces, five have their own refrigeration and two are butcher block bakery spaces with marble inserts. Specialty equipment includes a rotisserie, worktop sheeter, smoker, steam injected bread oven and blast freezer — all of which are available for use by all members.
