I have started a business, legally with all required permits and inspections.
We do BBQ, sides and desert along with canned drinks.
We've catered parties all summer, about 1 a week, and have decided to purchase a concessions trailer. Now this trailer is outfitted as a complete kitchen. This is primarily because we have outgrown the use of the kitchen we have been using. Food was prepared in a commercial kitchen that we were able to rent for our events.
Meeting with the health department today and will get all the final info I need for vending in our county/state.
I can only thank the great folks here for the info on getting this done and the useful posts I've searched through to make it this far.
Now this trailer has a restroom for our use, and has an outside entrance for customer emergency use. This gives us much more latitude in where we can set up. I'm looking into places on the main drag in ours and adjoining counties. Since my license will allow us to set up anywhere in the state. Costed a bit more but I felt it was worth it.
Now a quick question, would you fine folks recommend just setting up in one prime location or try to set up gigs for next year to travel to. Like festivals, small fairs and possibly NASCAR races?
I have all of these within a 50 mile radius of our home base.
Just looking for opinions on this as we have put a good amount of money out ordering this new set up.
Thanks in advance for any and all info and opinions
