HOW CO-LAB COMPARES
More Than A Kitchen Rental.

|---|---|---|---|
| Foot traffic | Inside a live food hall in Downtown Santa Ana | Production only, no storefront | Delivery only, no storefront |
| Ways to sell | Walk-up stall sales, delivery apps and a pickup window | Off-site only | Delivery apps |
| Growth path | Kitchen to full-time stall, same building | Usually none | Usually none |
| Permits | We handle your permits | Usually on you | Varies |
| Community | Founder mixers and mentorship from working operators | Shared space, little else | Usually none |
A Community Of Operators
Real Operators, Real Advice.
Renting space is the start. The real value is a building full of people solving the same problems you are: sourcing, pricing, staffing and growth.
01
Founder Mixers
Regular events to connect with other operators, swap what's working, and find the collaborators you didn't know you needed.
02
Mentorship Access
Real operators, not consultants. People who run lines, solve staffing problems in real time, and remember what month three felt like.
03
A Path To Your Own Stall
Build the business in a commercial kitchen, then move into a full-time food stall in the same building when you are ready.
Tell us where you are in your business. We'll point you to the right space.
