LETS START
The first step for most prospective clients is to give us a call or send us an email in order to make an appointment to see the kitchen.
Since someone is not always available for drop-in showings, it’s important to make an appointment first. Our staff is minimal, but we do our best to return all
inquiries within 24 hours. We’re available to show you around at just about
any time, including evenings and weekends, and we’re happy to answer any
questions, and will provide you with the paperwork you’ll need (it isn’t
much).
Once you’re ready to get started, we require just four things:
1. A valid City of Chicago Food Service Sanitation Certificate
2. Proof of liability insurance (minimum coverage of $1 million) with
Kitchen Chicago listed as additional insured
3. A signed operating agreement with STREE VENDORS KITCHEN
4. A valid Shared Kitchen User license for your business (short or long
term) from the City of Chicago (info from the City)
The Street Vendors Association of Chicago (SVAC) opened a shared kitchen located in the North Lawndale neighborhood in 2016. After a while, the kitchen became a cooperative, called “Cocina Compartida de Trabajadores Cooperativistas”(CCTC), Here the street vendors take turns preparing food and then selling fearlessly. The city inspected and certified kitchen provides a space that all Chicago street vendors must use as established by the 2015 city ordinance that legalizes street vending.
