If you've ever left instructions for an Airbnb guest, you already know how renting your kitchen works.

Someone requests a date. You approve it. They pay through Stripe. On the day you share how to get in, the Wi-Fi and your cleaning list. Then you get paid for a day your kitchen would have sat empty.

If you manage a church hall, community centre or restaurant kitchen, these are probably your questions too: who's in my kitchen, what if something breaks, and how do I get paid?

On Food Web you approve every request, you set the deposit, and payment runs through Stripe.

What's the question that's stopping you from renting out your kitchen?

One of the big sticking points in our food systems is the 'question of bread.' How can we feed ourselves without relying on sophisticated state involvement, and avoid the corruption and unintended side effects of producing food at scale? What are your thoughts on this pressing issue?

41% of Canadian restaurants are running at a loss. At the same time, caterers, bakers and food truck owners are looking for somewhere to prep a few shifts a week.

A restaurant's closed day could be someone else's first kitchen. You can list it on Food Web and earn from the hours it would sit empty.

If you run a restaurant, what day is your kitchen closed?

This life we live today is quite different from what our ancestors knew. But what if reconnecting with our roots was as simple as asking a neighbour to grow an extra row of carrots for your family? It’s a small act that can mean so much. How are you supporting your local food community?

Think about the kitchen at your church hall or community centre. How many hours a week is anyone actually cooking in it?

Most kitchens are closed more hours than they're open. Meanwhile bakers, caterers and meal-prep startups are looking for a kitchen a few days a week, not a whole restaurant. Food Web Kitchens connects the two.

Which kitchen in your town sits empty?

Did you know that 41% of restaurants in Canada are currently operating at a loss? It's a tough time for the food industry, with tight profit margins and rising costs making it hard for businesses to thrive. But there's hope. Many small food businesses are eager to get started, looking for places to rent just a few days a week.

At Food Web, we're all about making those connections and helping these businesses find their footing. What do you think could be done to support these budding entrepreneurs?

Remember the days of dial-up internet? It feels like a lifetime ago, but in the grand scheme of human history, the internet is still brand new. Many people alive today can recall a time when it didn't exist at all. How do you think this early stage of the internet affects our lives today?

Students are quick to identify problems but often face challenges when it comes to implementing change. As exams loom, activism takes a backseat to the need to survive the academic grind. How can we ensure that student voices lead to real change?

Starting a business is already a daunting task, but imagine having to navigate endless paperwork just to secure a small amount of funding. This is the reality for many startups today. They spend more time on grant writing and proposal drafting than on their actual mission.

Are we making it too difficult for small businesses to thrive? What can be done to ease this burden?
