If you’re finding yourself with an empty Short Term Rental unit right now, perhaps it’s a good time to do a thorough inventory of your kitchen. Is it really as well appointed as you think it is? Have some of your utensils “walked away?” Or maybe some appliances aren’t functioning as well as they used to. You can use our Kitchen Checklist, originally published in our Getting Started guide as review tool. You just may find a few easy fixes to add the special sauce you need to relaunch with a bang after we’re on the other side of this pandemic.
We’ve put together a shopping list below of some of our favorite items that fulfill this checklist!

Basic Ingredients
Get started with the Basic Ingredients to make sure that your guests aren’t disappointed that something simple is missing.
Icing on Top
Add icing on top with items that feel more luxurious and show that you really want your guests to use the kitchen with ease.
