Stargazer Shared Kitchen Space
Stargazer Inc offers a "Shared facility" where there are no assigned spaces for renters/members. Our facility is approximately 2000 sqare feet. Members have 24-hour access, 7 days a week. We offer free WiFi, walk-in coolers, freezer, dry storage, multiple ovens, 10 burner stove, indoor smoker, griddle, open flame grill, mobile prep stations, table mixers, basic cake prep supplies, heating units, 3-tub sinks, etc. To avoid over-scheduling, facility availability is based upon reserved time/days that have been pre-selected by members and approved by Stargazer.
Our facility also offers a dining room space to be used for classes, service of private/social events, and even tastings. You can use part of your hours (per your contract) for the space or incur an additional fee. Any private or social events after 6:00pm cost $45/hour and require security or client may provide their own professional security company (must show proof).
Members are required to provide their own dry storage rack or purchase one from our facility (example will be provided during tour). Each member must clean and sanitize, sweep, and mop each area of usage daily, required by the Health Department. All necessary cleaning supplies are provided, but members will provide their own disposable dish towels for cleaning and sanitizing.
