Frequently asked

Where can I find a commissary kitchen in Austin?
This page lists real, currently-operating commissary and shared commercial kitchens in the Austin area — 8 of them — including food-truck commissaries, culinary incubators, and hourly kitchen rentals. Confirm licensing and availability with each kitchen directly before you commit.
How much does a commissary kitchen cost to rent?
Rates vary widely by market and access level: hourly kitchen rental commonly runs from the low-$20s to $40+ per hour, while monthly food-truck commissary plans (parking, water, waste, storage) often range from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars a month. Ask each kitchen for its current rate card — we don’t publish prices because they change often.
Do food trucks have to use a commissary?
In most jurisdictions, yes — a mobile food unit must be based at an approved commissary for potable water, waste-water disposal, food storage, and often overnight parking. Check your local mobile-vending rules on the requirements pages, and confirm a given commissary is accepted by your health department.
What should I look for in a shared kitchen?
Confirm it’s health-department licensed in your county, that it has the equipment and storage (dry vs. cold) your menu needs, the booking model (hourly vs. dedicated), and — for trucks — water fill, gray-water dump, and parking. Also ask about insurance requirements and 24/7 access.
