Our infrastructure features effective extraction and ventilation, a natural gas and interlock system, three-phase electricity, and an industrial boiler. Facilities are also equipped with non-slip floors, hygienic walls and skirting, commercial high-power lighting, and a central food delivery order processing centre. Additional beneficial services include delivery driver management, dedicated security, fire-rated infrastructure and safety systems, loading docks, and the presence of helpful community managers. Furthermore, add-ons such as chilled, ambient, and frozen storage, pest control, and a high-speed internet connection can be availed for an additional fee.

Choosing to rent a kitchen with Foodstars offers significant advantages over setting up a traditional brick-and-mortar restaurant. Primarily, it eliminates the need for large dine-in spaces by focusing on food preparation areas, significantly cutting down real estate expenses. 

The collaborative nature of the setup permits a leaner team, with Foodstars providing onsite support staff for smoother operations. The startup costs are also considerably lower, leading to quicker profitability and faster return on investment. 

Foodstars handles complex construction, permits, and bureaucratic matters, enabling a quick set-up within approximately four weeks as opposed to nearly a year with a traditional setup. Breaking even with a dark kitchen is achievable within six months at a 10% profit margin on a €1M run rate, making it an economically sound choice as opposed to a traditional restaurant's 3- to 5-year break-even time frame. With Foodstars, starting a food business becomes easier, faster, and economically more viable.
