Karma Kitchen is transforming industrial spaces into beautiful commercial kitchens, co-working, and storage.
We build, equip, and manage the spaces with everything from kitchen porters, community managers, to top of the range equipment. The goal is to provide workspace that encompasses the full needs of a food and drink business.
The team behind Karma Kitchen are the same team behind Karma Cans, the lunch delivery company. Gini and Eccie founded Karma Cans in 2014, making fresh healthy salads for offices around London. They've built two kitchens for Karma Cans and they understand how important it is to get operations right early on; to leave you the space and money to grow and transform your business. That's the goal of Karma Kitchens, to let businesses grow and scale.
Taster is a multi-national virtual brand operator, and they launched their UK business straight from our Hackney Kitchen. From one of our 24H private kitchens Taster operated three separate concepts: a Korean Fried chicken concept called Out Fry, a Poke brand called O Ke Kai, and Mission Saigon (their take on Vietnamese food).
It was our flexible approach that allowed Taster to launch so fast with us; they licensed the private kitchen from us within a week of another space they had their eye on falling through. And our offer was simple for them to understand and agree - we offered them an affordable rent that included all the bills and services that they needed.
Beyond this, it was our approach to high Health and Safety standards that appealed to them; we organize for our kitchens to be inspected on a monthly basis by the Local Authority, and this means that delivery businesses who rely on having an FSA rating to trade can quickly get approved and start cooking. We have an excellent track record by the way - our last inspection saw every business get 5*
