You can have full control over the design of your facilities and tools, and your commute will probably be very short indeed. However, there are some difficulties and hurdles involved with setting up your own commercial home kitchen. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This article will set out three steps to get your home kitchen up and running for your food business, including:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">designing your premises;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">thinking about temperature controls; and\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">getting your legalities in order.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Designing Your Premises<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The design of your premises is one of the most important decisions you will make when setting up your commercial home kitchen, and you may be chopping and changing as your business gets off the ground. However, you should still have a clear idea of what you are going to do to get your kitchen ready in the space that you have. You should also think about how it will be designed and enabled to handle <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.nz\/regulatory-and-compliance\/food-safety\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">food safety<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and avoid contamination.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Kitchen Space<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As a commercial kitchen, you will need to take a number of different things into account to meet your food safety requirements and standards. For example, you will need to ensure that you have enough space for the number of people that will be working in the kitchen.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">They will need the space to work with the food without contaminating it. For instance, if someone working with raw food cannot work too close to someone working with cooked food. This will depend on the scale of your commercial home kitchen, of course, but you should also think about future growth when designing your premises in the event your business expands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Basics<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You should also make sure you have sufficient access to basics like hand washbasins and other sinks. There may be additional kitchen infrastructure and facilities that you need to launch your commercial home kitchen that you may not currently have at home. For example, you may not have a fridge that is big enough to keep the required amount of food cold (or frozen).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Storage Space<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You should also make sure that you have enough storage space, as well as space to actually cook in.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thinking About Temperature Controls<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You will need to carefully consider temperature controls in the design of your commercial home kitchen. Under your food control plan or other documents, you will likely need to be able to keep certain foods cold to avoid them turning hazardous (such as meat or dairy products). Again, this will require careful planning and preparation to ensure you have the facilities to meet your temperature control needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Furthermore, you should think about the tools and equipment you will need in the actual kitchen to keep on top of your temperature requirements. As an example, make sure you and your team (if relevant) have access to a food thermometer and other tools to check that food is cooked safely. You will need to know the right limits for the different foods that you are making.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<a href=\"#content-next\"\n   class=\"block p-4 mt-10 text-xl font-bold text-center text-white

An inspector will visit your house to verify this.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"box box--icon box--info\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You should also consider whether there are other legalities to check, such as whether you have your landlord\u2019s permission to operate a commercial kitchen out of the residence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Key Takeaways<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are a number of steps to think about when getting your commercial home kitchen operational.
