Unlock the Power of Your Facility
THE FMK PLATFORM : A DUAL ENGINE SYSTEM
Our proprietary Retail as a Service (RaaS ) technology is divided into two specialized modules that work in perfect sync to manage your facilities operations.
FMK Back of House Management System
The Logistics Engine
Smart Kitchen Calendar: An integrated booking system where tenants schedule their production hours, ensuring your kitchen is never over-capacity.
Resource Allocation: Automatically assign specific prep tables, cold storage units, and specialized equipment to each tenant.
Inventory & Storage Tracking: Manage designated storage footprints for multiple makers within a single shared facility.
FMK Front of House Retail OS
The Revenue Engine
Unified Multi-Tenant POS: A single interface that holds the inventory for every maker in the building.
Automated Payouts: No manual accounting. The system automatically identifies which product belongs to which tenant at the moment of checkout.
Smart Commission Splits: Revenue is split instantly-the system calculates the tenant’s share and the facility’s commission automatically, depositing funds with surgical precision.
FAQ
How does FMK differ from a traditional commercial kitchen rental?
Traditional rentals only monetize the “Back of House” (BOH) through fixed hourly rates. FMK transforms your space into a Hybrid Marketplace. By adding a “Front of House” (FOH) retail showroom and our digital OS, we allow you to capture revenue from walk-in customers, online orders, and shelf-space fees simultaneously. You move from being a “landlord” to being a “platform.”
What is the investment required to become an FMK Partner?
Because every facility is unique, our pricing is tailored to the specific implementation model that fits your goals. Our fees are structured based on the level of integration required—ranging from FMK Operating System integration for existing kitchens that only need our POS and marketplace engine, to Full-Scale Marketplace Build-outs for property owners looking for a turnkey retail transformation.
Our goal is to ensure the model is self-sustaining; during your Free Site Assessment, we provide a transparent breakdown of any required improvements and a projected revenue model based on your location’s potential.
Who is responsible for managing the day-to-day sales and staff?
The FMK platform is built to scale with your involvement level. We offer three distinct management paths to fit your operational goals:
Self-Serve Automation: For the leanest overhead, we deploy our FMK Self-Checkout Kiosks. This allows your facility to run as a “smart market” where customers scan and pay for “Collective” goods and “Live Station” orders with minimal supervision.
FMK-Trained Staffing: If you prefer a high-touch hospitality experience, we provide access to FMK-trained Front-of-House staff. These team members are specialists in our OS and know exactly how to tell the “Maker Stories” to your customers.
Full-Service Facility Management: For a truly passive investment, FMK can assign a dedicated Facility Operating Manager. They oversee everything from maker rotations and inventory logistics to staff scheduling and facility maintenance.
In short: You choose the level of involvement; our platform handles the complexity.
Do I need to find my own food startups and makers?
No. One of the core benefits of the FMK Network is our Curated Tenant Matching. We have a growing database of vetted makers, chefs, and emerging brands ready to launch. We analyze your specific location and kitchen specs to “match” the tenants that are most likely to succeed in your neighborhood, ensuring high turnover and consistent quality.
