Residential Kitchen Info


We often receive phone calls from Residents inquiring about operating a Residential Kitchen within their home.  The State's Food Code does allow Residential Kitchen operations and have provided a series of comprehensive guidance documents to assist prospective operators in muddling through the requirements.  Please check out the link below.

MA DPH Residential Kitchen Operation Guidance

After reading the links above, if you are still interested in starting a Residential Kitchen, complete and submit to us the "Food Service Establishment" application on our website.  After the application review, we will contact for any follow up questions and to set up a pre-operational inspection.
