Do You Have This Much Cold Storage Access?

A Checklist for Food Entrepreneurs

 

When you’re growing a food business, time is precious and margins are tight. You don’t need mystery messes in a shared cooler or digging through bins to find your dry spices at 4 a.m.

Here’s your reality check: Is your current commissary kitchen giving you what you need?

Use this 60-second checklist to find out.


✅ Cold Storage Must-Haves:

  • ☐ Full-size walk-in cooler access
  • ☐ Temperature-controlled and monitored 24/7
  • ☐ Space reserved for YOU (not “shared” shelf roulette)
  • ☐ Reliable freezers for proteins, sauces, and par-cooked food
  • ☐ Accessible at all hours

If you’re missing two or more, your storage might be holding you back — literally.


✅ Dry Storage Must-Haves:

  • ☐ Ventilated, elevated shelving
  • ☐ Designated zones with labeling
  • ☐ No risk of cross-contamination
  • ☐ Security and access when YOU need it
  • ☐ Enough space to grow with your operation
