In the age of COVID-19, businesses are getting craftier and changing direction to make sure customers are safe and satisfied – including the Catapult Kitchen Incubator.

The innovative concept allows entrepreneurs access to a commercial kitchen + tools to help food-based start-ups take an idea from concept to reality. And now, kitchen members can sell their products directly to consumers out of Catapult thanks to a new pop-up window.

Looking out onto Catapult’s outdoor patio, the window allows customers to grab a meal and eat social-distance-style in open-air seating.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Entrepreneurs schedule a time + date for their pop-up
  2. Catapult members + the general public simply show up during scheduled dates to purchase crafted foods from the window

Recently, Japanese-style waffle brand Wafu and Taste of Home Grill, a contemporary concept that blends Southern and Jamaican cuisine, held pop-ups at the window and plan to host more events there in the future.

Up next in the pop-up series:

Keep an eye on Catapult’s events calendar + subscribe to their newsletter to stay up-to-date on who’s cooking in the kitchen.
