The Plaza del Sol Commissary Kitchen is a fully licensed, state-of-the-art production space built to support food makers, caterers, food truck operators, and emerging chefs. Whether you’re scaling a new idea, fulfilling high-volume orders, or prepping for your next big event, our kitchen gives you the space, tools, and flexibility you need to grow.
Our commercial kitchen features six dedicated workstations, each designed to handle intensive prep, cooking, and packaging workflows. Makers can book the space that fits their production schedule—by membership or hourly—with the freedom to bring in their own team and processes.
Outfitted with brand-new, industry-standard commercial appliances, the Commissary Kitchen allows entrepreneurs to produce safely, efficiently, and at scale. Equipment includes:
Food businesses often work outside “business hours,” and Plaza del Sol makes that possible with secure, card-controlled 24/7 access. Early mornings, late nights, or weekend rushes—your production schedule is always supported.
