  Since opening in 2016, Findlay Kitchen has helped nearly 300 food entrepreneurs start, grow, and scale their businesses as a mission-driven program grounded in principles of inclusivity and equity. Committed to reducing systemic barriers that limit access to opportunity, Findlay Kitchen supports entrepreneurs with higher barriers to entry in the restaurant industry. Over 80% of our member community are part of historically marginalized groups, reflecting our commitment to ensuring all entrepreneurs benefit from shared resources, education, and a vibrant community. By embracing the wealth of culture and diversity that our members bring, Findlay Kitchen helps advance and sustain a thriving, equitable food ecosystem in the heart of our city. In recognition of this impact, Findlay Kitchen was awarded the prestigious Incubator Kitchen of the Year Award at the 2025 Golden Whisk Awards.
