How booking requests work

A booking request is a message, not a booking. Nothing is reserved and nothing is charged through CommissaryMap.

1. You send a request from a kitchen's page with your dates, hours and what you need.
2. We pass it on. If the kitchen has claimed its listing, it goes straight to the kitchen. If not, we contact the kitchen on your behalf using the details on the public list.
3. The kitchen replies to you with availability, price and its own rental agreement.
4. Any agreement is between you and the kitchen: its rental terms, deposit, insurance requirements and cancellation policy.

What the kitchen will usually ask for

• Proof of general liability insurance.
• Your food manager or food handler certificate.
• Your business license or mobile food permit, or your application.
• A deposit and a signed rental agreement.
