Fort Collins Commissary Kitchen User Survey

By sharing your experiences with commissary or shared-use kitchens, you’ll help us understand the challenges and opportunities you face in accessing commercial kitchen space. We want to learn how well current options meet your needs and what influences your choice to use or avoid shared kitchens. Your insights on regulatory knowledge, licensing, food safety, equipment needs, scheduling, and barriers will guide us in improving shared kitchen resources to better support your business growth, innovation, and inclusion in Fort Collins’ food community.
