Commercial Catering Kitchen Rental

Flexible Arvada production space for Denver-area caterers and event teams.

For caterers and event producers

Production Space That Can Follow the Event Calendar

Catering volume changes from week to week. A tasting, a small corporate delivery and a multi-event weekend can each demand a different mix of prep space, cooking capacity, refrigeration and staging. A useful commissary has to support that rhythm without forcing the business into more space than it needs every day.

Rocky Mountain Commissary offers flexible commercial kitchen arrangements in a 12,000-square-foot Arvada facility. Caterers can discuss hourly use, recurring production schedules and longer-term options, then align the arrangement with their event calendar and staffing plan.

The facility combines hood-equipped kitchens with ovens, kettles, mixers, cold and dry storage options, cleaning equipment and loading access. During a tour, RMC can help you walk through a real event workflow—from ingredient receiving to final load-out—and identify the questions that still need confirmation.

Support the Full Event-Production Cycle

Plan the kitchen around the way your team actually prepares and delivers.

Batch Cooking

Use confirmed ranges, ovens, steam kettles, mixers, steamers, char-broilers, flat tops or tilt skillets for the high-volume steps in your menu.

Cold and Dry Storage

Discuss refrigerated, freezer, dry and lockable storage needs in relation to deliveries, advance prep, event staging and leftovers.

Staging and Load-Out

Map the movement of sheet pans, hotel pans, smallwares, disposables and transport equipment so event-day loading is orderly and complete.

Capacity for Different Menus

RMC lists more than 100 feet of Class I hood space across 13 kitchens, plus approximately 2,000 square feet of refrigeration and freezer space. The equipment inventory includes 16 convection ovens, Revent and Baxter ovens, 10- to 80-gallon kettles, and 10- to 60-quart mixers.

Those numbers help with early planning, but the meaningful question is whether the specific equipment, workspace and time window fit your menu and event volume. Bring a production list to the tour so the team can discuss real batch sizes, holding needs and station flow.

Equipment and storage are shared resources. Availability, setup and product-specific requirements must be confirmed before an event is scheduled.

Plan Around an Actual Event

  1. Work backward from service.List the event time, travel, setup and safe holding requirements, then establish the final load-out deadline.
  2. Build the production schedule.Separate advance prep, cooking, cooling, finishing and packing into realistic station and staff assignments.
  3. Match equipment and storage.Confirm the required batch sizes, utensils, refrigeration, freezer, dry storage and cart or rack movement.
  4. Close the loop.Plan receiving, cleaning, waste handling, return trips and the storage of approved items between events.

What to Bring to the Tour

  • A sample menu and expected guest-count range
  • The largest batch for each cooking method
  • Typical delivery days, prep windows and event load-out times
  • Cold, frozen, dry and lockable storage estimates
  • Staff count and simultaneous work-station needs
  • Special handling, allergen-control or cleaning questions
  • Vehicle, receiving and loading requirements

RMC can discuss the facility and rental fit. Caterers remain responsible for confirming current licenses, permits, insurance, food-safety procedures and event-jurisdiction requirements with the appropriate authorities and advisers.
