LOS ANGELES - Californer -- "The Airbnb for Restaurant Kitchens" – AirKitchenz Launches in Los Angeles & Orange County to Revolutionize the Food Industry

LOS ANGELES, CA – February, 12, 2025 – AirKitchenz, the first-ever marketplace for renting underutilized restaurant kitchens, is now launching in Los Angeles and Orange County, set to revolutionize the food industry by solving one of its biggest inefficiencies—restaurant kitchen underutilization.

Right now, the average restaurant kitchen is only in use 40-50% of the time, while 80% of independent restaurants shut down within two years due to high rent, labor costs, and razor-thin margins. Meanwhile, thousands of food entrepreneurs struggle to launch or expand their businesses because of sky-high startup costs, long lease commitments, and expensive build-outs.

AirKitchenz is changing this. For the first time ever, restaurant owners can monetize their unused kitchen space while food entrepreneurs can start or expand their business with zero build-out costs and zero risk.

A Win-Win Solution for the Restaurant Industry

💰 For Restaurants:

• Generate passive income by renting out kitchen space when it's not in use.
• Reduce financial strain and help independent restaurants stay open.
• No extra overhead – make money from space that would otherwise sit empty.

🚀 For Food Entrepreneurs & Businesses:

• No build-out costs, no risk, no long leases – instantly access a commercial kitchen.
• Expand with ease – operate in multiple locations without taking on debt or loans.
• Anyone who can cook can now start a food business – AirKitchenz removes all barriers to entry.

"The restaurant industry is broken. High costs are forcing independent restaurants to close, while thousands of kitchens sit empty every day. At the same time, food entrepreneurs can't afford to start or scale their businesses. AirKitchenz is here to fix that," said Diego Leporini, Founder & CEO of AirKitchenz.
