TOOLS FOR SUCCESS:

Food Safety Certification: Shared Kitchens require a high level of sanitation and need to maintain high standards at all times. Most small businesses already have their ServeSafe Certificate. If you do not and are just starting out...all that is involved is taking the course in a class environment or on-line and then taking a short exam.

We have a Servsafe Proctor that will assist you in gaining this requirement. www.servsafe.com will help you determine what material you may need, where and when classes are offered.

Liability Business Insurance: We have 3 agencies that can assist you and find the right pricing for you.

State of Michigan Licensure: You will need your business license in order to work in our kitchen as a small business. This license applies to those looking to get their business off the ground by producing food and selling in it within the community. The D Loft Café and Commercial Kitchen requires you have your own license to be able to identify working in our commercial environment.

Federal Tx ID Number: You need it to pay federal taxes, hire employees, open a bank account, and apply for business licenses and permits.

*Members may cancel their membership by providing The D Loft Commercial Kitchen with at least thirty (30) calendar days’ written notice.

Cancellation Requirements
  1. Cancellation requests must be submitted in writing by email to the designated membership email address.

  2. The notice must include the member’s full name, business name, requested cancellation date, and reason for cancellation.

  3. Verbal requests, text messages, nonpayment, discontinued kitchen use, or failure to schedule hours do not constitute cancellation.

  4. The 30-day notice period begins on the date The D Loft Commercial Kitchen confirms receipt of the written request.

Financial Responsibility

The member remains responsible for:

  • All membership charges due during the 30-day notice period

  • Previously issued invoices, late fees, equipment charges, cleaning fees, storage fees, damages, and other outstanding balances

  • Any contractual commitment or payment plan extending beyond the requested cancellation date

  • Removing all food, supplies, equipment, and personal property before membership access ends

Membership fees are not prorated. Previously paid membership fees, unused kitchen hours, registration fees, compliance fees, deposits designated as nonrefundable, and other charges are not refundable or transferable. Unused hours have no cash value and may not be used after the membership termination date.

Submitting a cancellation request does not stop scheduled payments or eliminate an existing balance. A member’s account must be paid in full before the membership can be closed in good standing.

Members may continue using the kitchen during the 30-day notice period only if:

  • Their account remains current

  • Kitchen time is properly scheduled and confirmed

The D Loft Commercial Kitchen may suspend or immediately terminate access for nonpayment, unsafe conduct, policy violations, unauthorized use, expired credentials, or conduct that creates a risk to the facility, staff, other members, or the public. Suspension or termination for cause does not eliminate the member’s outstanding financial obligations.

Property and Storage

All personal property must be removed by the final membership date. Items left after that date may be subject to storage, disposal, or removal fees as permitted by the membership agreement and applicable law. The D Loft Commercial Kitchen is not responsible for items abandoned after membership ends.
