Two percent of the world's surface use for cities, yet it consumes 75 percent of its resources. Urban Farming is an emerging alternative food network that could supply some of the food needs in cities with less emission, healthier food, and the environment. Urbanis is a company that likes to contribute to the acceleration of urban farming, especially in Indonesia, by utilizing vacant land and labor. In 2021, Urbanis plans to scale up the production capacity to 10 tonnes per month or 400 kg per day. It requires us to have a warehouse to store the food product that has not been absorbed by the market. The purpose of this study is to find warehouse specifications for urbanis and the amount of labor and rack inside the warehouse alongside capital and operational expenditure. This research uses a layout with an area of 5x14 meters for experimental design. The model then translated into a discrete-event simulation model named Anylogic. The results show, for each amount of arrival, the number of labor that utilizes effectively are two labors with a maximum number of rack 50. Given these results, the author conducted operational and capital expenditure, which consist of variable analysis and additional variables such as a table, fan, and chair. The result is Urbanis need Rp 50.738.000 for capital expenditure while Rp 10.871.337 for operational expenditure. Keywords: Urban Farming, Warehouse, Discrete-Event Simulation.
