The Food Innovation Program/Incubator/Commercial Kitchen:   A long-list of colleges and universities of all sizes have a food innovation center on-campus that helps both students and residents of the local communities have the ability of creating their own food business.
The Conzumable Incubator has a complete module system that links the on-campus food service locations to incubator models ideal for college campuses nationwide.  Our founding team has over 30-years in the vending and micro market industries as suppliers.  The Conzumable Incubator’s partnering group, Lemonaders (www.Lemonaders.com) is available to college campuses nationwide talking about the food industry (the conception, creation and launch of consumer products into the marketplace).

Commercial Kitchens (www.CommercialKitchens.org):   The Commercial Kitchens Association is available to college campuses   needing help with the creation and/or operations consulting for their on-campus commercial kitchens.    Most college business incubators have a commercial kitchen as part of their program.  Universities such as   Oregon State, University of Nebraska – Lincoln and Rutgers have very successful incubator programs.
