Shared Kitchen
Stargazer Inc. offers a shared commissary kitchen with 24/7 access for approved members. Rather than assigned workspaces, members reserve pre-approved days and times to ensure fair scheduling and facility availability.
​
In addition to the kitchen, members have access to a dining room space that can be used for classes, tastings, private events, and social gatherings. Event space usage may be applied toward contracted hours or rented separately. Private and social events held after 6:00 PM are subject to a $45/hour fee and require professional security.
​
Members are responsible for providing their own dry storage rack and maintaining a clean, sanitized workspace after each use. Cleaning supplies are provided; however, members must supply their own disposable dish towels.
