Have you always dreamed of starting a food business? Whether you're a baker, a caterer, a food truck, a farmer, or even a hot sauce bottler, CoMo Cooks Shared Kitchen is for you!

On Thursday, February 19th from 12:30 to 2:00 pm we're hosting our monthly CoMo Cooks Kitchen Orientation. This orientation is free to attend and will provide answers to questions you may have about our kitchen, business planning, health department regulations, and more.

CoMo Cooks staff will offer tours of the kitchen and provide an overview of how to apply for CoMo Cooks. We'll also have a representative from the Columbia/Boone County Health Department on hand to make sure you know about food safety requirements and certifications. 

Still in the early stages of setting up your business? We'll also have business coaches from REDI, the MO Small Business Development Center and the MO Women's Business Center who can provide an overview of starting a business and set up appointments for free business coaching.

Please RSVP to Trish at [email protected].

Can't make it on the 19th? Don't worry, our CoMo Cooks Shared Kitchen Orientation is held every third Thursday of the month from 12:30 to 2:00 pm at 14 Business Loop E.
