Food Rev Kitchen

Food Rev Kitchen, also called Food Revolution, is a woman-owned shared commercial kitchen in Stoneham where local food startups can test their concepts and build a customer base. Members rent prep and storage space and get help with permitting, marketing, selling and business planning. The kitchen occupies a former corner store that many longtime residents remember with nostalgia, now cleaned up and upgraded into a working commissary north of Boston.

Equipment includes seven work counters separated by top allergens, large three-bay dish and prep sinks, a six-burner stove, a deep fryer, a commercial oven, a 20-quart mixer and a bakers’ prep corner, plus walk-in and reach-in refrigeration and dry storage. Former members credit Lisa of Food Rev with facilities know-how, industry connections and good cheer. Alumni include businesses such as Grazy Gifts, Littleburg and Silver Whisk Bake Shop.
