Why do you need kitchen rental solutions in Singapore?
Restaurants across Singapore are constantly adapting to the latest trends, new technologies, and changing consumer habits. More often than not, restaurants go out of business simply because they fail to keep up with the ever-changing industry.
In the past, opening a new brick-and-mortar restaurant could take years of hard work, with high upfront costs and little guarantee of success. However, with the advent of kitchen studio rentals, this is no longer the case. These spaces allow restaurateurs to access fully equipped kitchens in prime locations without the hassle of long-term leases or maintenance fees. The risk associated with opening new locations and experimenting with new food ideas is greatly reduced.
Apart from lower upfront investment, kitchen rental in Singapore offers the utmost flexibility. You’ll be able to rent spaces with shorter leases (usually 12 months), scale up and down effortlessly, and avoid the time-consuming licensing paperwork associated with opening new restaurant locations.
At Smart City Kitchens, our central kitchens are pre-approved for Food Processing Licences (FPL) and built in line with Singapore Food Agency (SFA) food processing standards. This means your business benefits from faster onboarding and the peace of mind that all facilities are already compliance-ready.
Rent a kitchen for however long – or short – you need
Without a doubt, one of the scariest parts of opening a new restaurant location is signing a real estate lease for a year or more. The uncertainty of the entire industry can be daunting, especially when opening a completely new brand and relying only on forecasts for profitability and revenue. With kitchen rental solutions, you can easily test the waters and validate your concept before committing to a long-term lease, minimising your financial risk and maximising your chances of success.
Your kitchen studio rental in Singapore includes:
Our state-of-the-art kitchen rental in Singapore is perfectly optimised for food-delivery businesses intent on keeping costs low and profit margins high. Our kitchen studios boast anywhere from 20 to 32 units in each location, some of which even have dine-in spaces, which further increase order sales. Facilities also support batch production, cold chain storage, frozen storage, and packaging coordination, all of which are crucial for food processing brands. With access to advanced equipment such as mixers, blast chillers, and vacuum sealers, you’ll have everything you need to scale safely while maintaining efficiency and food safety. Additionally, our studios are monitored regularly to ensure compliance with SFA standards. This makes it easier for operators to maintain licences, process approvals, and meet hygiene regulations without additional stress or unexpected costs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How much does it cost to rent a kitchen in Singapore?
It costs around SGD 3,500 to SGD 5,000 per month to rent a kitchen space with sizes ranging from 100 sq. ft. to 230 sq. ft. This excludes processing fees, equipment fees, and deposits. However, this fee usually includes maintenance, insurance, operations, and integration with delivery platforms.
What is the minimum lease duration for a kitchen rental space?
A minimum lease duration of 12 months means there is very little commitment involved with delivery kitchens. If a location isn’t working out for you, we’re happy to help you adjust your operations.
What benefit does a small kitchen for rent have over a larger one?
Renting a small kitchen, ranging from 100 sq. ft. to 230 sq. ft., has even less associated cost. If you want to test a brand, cuisine, or location, smaller kitchens provide more flexibility for you to find the best business model before committing to anything bigger or more long-term.
What if I decide I need a bigger or smaller space?
The nature of kitchen rental spaces is that your business can flex in any direction it wants. Moving into bigger or smaller spaces, or expanding into new locations, is as easy as it sounds.
Can kitchen rental spaces be customised to my restaurant type?
Absolutely. Each kitchen space can be customised with a unique set of equipment and arrangements that work for your restaurant's type, cooking style, and chef's needs.
What makes renting a kitchen with Smart City Kitchens different?
Unlike other providers, we offer kitchens that are pre-approved for FPL and compliant with SFA standards. Smart City Kitchen facilities also provide cold storage, frozen storage, and equipment for bulk production, making us ideal for both start-ups and established brands.
By combining compliance-ready kitchens with advanced logistics support, we help operators reduce setup time, lower operating risks, and concentrate fully on growth.
What amenities come with the kitchen rental?
Each kitchen rental includes access to high-grade utilities, ventilation, and drainage systems. You’ll also have access to shared resources, including delivery integration, waste management, and cleaning services. In addition, our kitchens come with optional equipment setups like mixers and blast chillers.
Many tenants also benefit from centralised inventory management areas and cold storage facilities. This helps streamline day-to-day operations and makes it easier to manage bulk orders, especially for food processing and packaged goods brands.
How do I book a viewing before renting a kitchen?
Booking a viewing is simple. Just contact our team via the enquiry form, and we’ll arrange a personalised tour of the kitchen facilities. This allows you to see the available spaces, equipment, and layouts before making a decision.
Our team can also advise you during the viewing on equipment setup, production scaling, and storage options that fit your specific cuisine type or business model.
What happens if I accidentally damage something during the rental period?
We understand that running a kitchen involves heavy daily use, so our team is always on hand to provide quick fixes or replacements where needed. If any accidental damage occurs, we will assess the situation and discuss the next steps with you.
Maintenance support is included as part of your lease, and we aim to resolve issues quickly so your business operations continue smoothly.
