Step 2: Los Angeles City and Health Department
The City and the Health Department will require additional documentation from your business. Below you’ll find pertinent information for your review.
ServeSafe Certificate
The Los Angeles County Health Department requires that you have a food handler’s certificate (also known as ServSafe) for the Laurel Kitchens ghost kitchen. This will ensure you are following the Los Angeles County Health Department regulations when you are preparing your food in our short-term commercial kitchens for lease. There are many half-day courses given on a regular basis to become a Certified Food Handler. Additionally, these schools provide online training:
- Safe Food: 1-323-238-0248
- AAA Food Handler: 1-877-222-3487
- Food Safety: 1-800-232-1917
- Los Angeles Business License: 1-213-473-4901
- State board of Equalization: 1-800-400-7115
Food Liability Insurance Program
All tenants should have general liability insurance. Whether you are renting our short-term commercial kitchens for one shift or full-time, you must have insurance. Having insurance limits your liability in the instance there is damage done to our facility, equipment, or your products. Make sure your policy lists Laurel Kitchens as an “additionally insured” property owner.
