Frequently Asked Questions


Is there a minimum requirement each month?

Yes! There is a four hour minimum per month for all members. We believe that each of our members success is cultivated when they perfect their craft. Our member's success is our success.

When can I access the kitchen?

Once you have completed orientation with us, and received approval from the Health Department, you can schedule your own time in the kitchen. We are a 24-hour security monitored facility so you can schedule time that is most convenient for you.

Do I have to pay a membership fee?

Yes! Our membership fee allows you to reduce the cost of owning and operating your own commercial space and pay less than non-members. Additionally, our members have the option to be a preferred caterer for The Nest, and have access to discounted pricing to the event space and private dining room.

Is insurance required to use the kitchen?

Yes! All members must retain a $1 million dollar liability insurance policy with the Haughville Shared Kitchen listed as additional insured for the duration of your membership with us. Anyone having a one-time event must obtain a COI and sign a waiver.

Do I have to use storage?

No! You are not required to utilize our storage unless you are required by the Board of Health to do so. Per the State of Indiana law, any ingredients that are taken home and not properly stored at the kitchen cannot be used again in the future.

Does the Haughville Shared Kitchen provide administrative help?

Yes! Ensuring all of the proper paperwork and documentation needed to operate in a shared kitchen can be daunting. We offer professional assistance through our various partners to ensure you have all of the necessary documentation completed. Please inquire with the Community Manager for more information.
