How it Works

Our basic package is great for people who are just starting their business and are looking to grow with us! This package includes 12 hours of kitchen time per month, free short-term usage of walk-in, free short-term cold storage (not to exceed 72 hours), use of kitchen smallwares (bowls, utensils, mixers, food processor, etc.), 1 boosted monthly promotion (for 6 months) on our social media platforms, 1 free basics class and advertisement in our newsletter once monthly.

Ok, now you're getting serious. This package is great for people who are established and growing their business. This package includes everything in our basic package plus an additional 8 hours of kitchen time (for a total of 20 hours), 2 monthly promotions (for 6 months on our social media platforms, a free "Salem GNU Kitchen" sponsored event held in our seminar space, access to a list of our local partners for your popups/events and free dry/cold long-term storage).

This package is our most insane, yet most excellent. This package includes everything in our lower-tier packages. However, our Gold members get exclusive, unlimited use of the kitchen for the duration of their membership, preferential booking (first choice) calendar access, a partner space on our websites, free promotional exposure, and much more!

The $50 rate includes a 4-hour block of kitchen time, free access to our dishwashing station and prep sink, walk-in, as well as to kitchen equipment (does not include smallwares - these can be rented ahead of time on our client portal). Any storage over 18 hours is strictly reserved for members.

Rental rate for an exclusive event is determined on a case-by-case basis, depending on the event. Please Contact Us to discuss your event!

If you only need the kitchen for a one-time event, no problem! There is a one-time event fee of $175. If you need to use the kitchen to prep for this event, members can use the kitchen
