Launch of Licensed Commercial Kitchen Rental Service: Supporting Everything from Product Development to Ghost Kitchens

Smile meal Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Mayumi Atsumi) has launched a commercial kitchen rental service designed for food manufacturing, product development, and restaurant operations.

In recent years, the demand for "ready-to-use manufacturing environments" has increased due to the rise of ghost kitchens, the launch of D2C food brands, and a growing need for prototyping and development. In response to this, we have begun offering kitchens that are fully equipped and licensed.

■ Licensed Kitchen Environment

Kitchen Studio meal holds the following permits:

• Restaurant Business Permit
• Side Dish Manufacturing Permit
• Confectionery Manufacturing Permit

These permits allow for the actual manufacturing and sale of food products. It can be used not only for prototyping but also as a practical operational space for commercialization and sales.

■ Professional-Grade Culinary Environment

The studio is fully equipped with professional kitchen facilities, including:

• Commercial stoves
• Steam convection ovens
• Blast chillers
• Vacuum packaging machines
• Commercial refrigerators

We have established an environment capable of handling everything from product development to full-scale manufacturing.
