The Shared Kitchen Operator Report is not just another dataset—it’s a tool to transform how shared kitchen operators, consultants, food system analysts, developers, researchers, and community leaders understand and navigate the industry. While the raw survey data has already been made available to survey participants and will be included in the Shared Kitchen Toolkit, this report goes much further.
- Beyond Raw Data: The survey, conducted in September–November 2023, captured invaluable input from shared kitchen operators across the U.S. and globally. While the raw data was shared with participants in February 2024 as a thank-you for their involvement, this report builds on that foundation. It interprets and analyzes the data, uncovering patterns and insights that the raw numbers alone cannot reveal.
- Expert Analysis: This report reflects the work of industry experts who analyzed the data, integrated broader industry trends, and highlighted actionable insights. It bridges the gap between raw data and practical application, offering a deeper understanding of what the numbers mean for the present and future of the shared kitchen industry.
- Strategic Perspective: Unlike the raw data, this report synthesizes the findings into a resource designed to empower decision-makers. It translates complex data into strategies and recommendations, equipping readers to make informed choices about operations, policies, and investments.
The raw data remains accessible to the operators who made this project possible, available through the Shared Kitchen Toolkit, launching in early February. By creating this report, we’ve honored the spirit of collaboration while expanding access to vital insights. It’s a product of the community, built for the community.
