Your Food Business Doesn't Have to Fit Into One Box
There are many ways to build a food business without immediately opening a traditional restaurant.
You may want to:
Cater private or corporate events
Prepare meals for customers
Sell food at community events
Operate a temporary food booth
Build a specialty food service
Test a food concept before investing in a permanent location
Expand an existing food business into a new sales channel
But each business model can have different operational, permitting, food-safety, and financial considerations.
