Yes, on request and depending on availability. You can prepare and send orders through apps like Uber Eats during your booking. The kitchen runs on a booking rotation, so we cannot guarantee the same times every day. If you need fixed days, these go through a permanent booking. Pickups are limited to 2 to 3 per booking and drivers park on the street. Book a tour and we can talk through the times available.

Yes, subject to availability. Long-term and exclusive-use arrangements can be made for businesses needing full-time hours. Contact us to discuss availability and pricing.

Once a booking is confirmed and paid, we don’t offer refunds. You can move your booking to another date within the same calendar month, subject to availability, as long as you give us at least one week’s notice. If you need to cancel with at least one week’s notice, we’ll convert your payment into credit (subject to availability), to be used within the following month. Regular weekly bookings are paid 2 weeks in advance, so cancellations of these require 2 weeks’ notice.

Our kitchens operate on a rotational basis, meaning only one business uses the kitchen at any given time to prevent cross-contamination. The kitchen is for exclusive use when rented, however, the dishwasher area is a shared area. The cold room & freezer room will be available at all times to other users. Shared storage areas are also available at all times.

You are responsible for cleaning your workspace after use, including wiping down equipment, sweeping, and mopping floors. We recommend allowing 15-30 minutes for cleaning. Kitchen Rental Hub conducts professional deep cleaning regularly.

You don't need a licence to book our kitchen. You're welcome to book sessions to test recipes and see how it works for you (you're responsible for knowing the requirements for your own activity).If you plan to operate long term or serve customers from our kitchen, we recommend adding your business to our licence by applying to the City of Gold Coast as an additional operator (Existing Food Premises, Additional Operator). This application is free with council. Businesses usually need a licence for every location they operate from.Because our kitchen is council-approved and our main licence covers the premises (pest control, cold room and freezer temperature monitoring, grease trap, sinks and regular inspections), the process is simple for you. Council indicates 2 to 4 weeks for approval.Licence membership: $400 + GST per year for new members, $300 + GST per year for renewals (12 months from payment).All food licences require a Food Safety Supervisor certificate (a short online course), and some businesses also need a Food Safety Program. The City of Gold Coast website has the details, or you can call council directly.For more details, email us at kitchenrentalhub@gmail.com
