Findlay Kitchen is a non-profit food business incubator located in the heart of the historic Findlay Market district.

Findlay Kitchen supports food entrepreneurs looking to start, grow and scale their businesses by providing affordable access to 14 licensed commercial kitchens, commercial-grade kitchen equipment, and ample storage space. Our facility was designed and built with maximum flexibility in mind for our members, whether they’re just starting out or looking to scale their current operation.

Findlay Kitchen 10 Year Anniversary

Since opening in 2016, Findlay Kitchen has helped nearly 300 food entrepreneurs start, grow, and scale their businesses as a mission-driven program grounded in principles of inclusivity and equity. Committed to reducing systemic barriers that limit access to opportunity, Findlay Kitchen supports entrepreneurs with higher barriers to entry in the restaurant industry. Over 80% of our member community are part of historically marginalized groups, reflecting our commitment to ensuring all entrepreneurs benefit from shared resources, education, and a vibrant community.

By embracing the wealth of culture and diversity that our members bring, Findlay Kitchen helps advance and sustain a thriving, equitable food ecosystem in the heart of our city. In recognition of this impact, Findlay Kitchen was awarded the prestigious Incubator Kitchen of the Year Award at the 2025 Golden Whisk Awards.
