I have a friend getting into the food business. What's your best advice?
Answered by:
Take some classes about setting up a food business, work in a restaurant or place that you want to open before doing it as a business. Even the very best Chef's don't make it. Partner up with someone. Collaborate. Listen to @Stuart Abrams from L'Ambroisie it's very true. The Health department basically controls if you have a business or not. Everyone has given some great advice. Good Luck!

Go to SCORE and request a mentor.

Food cost is very high... create menu items (such as soup) that will allow you to use all food items to minimize waste.
