I would not invest in a lot of bottled inventory until you have talked to restaurant owners/buyers. The approach is this: "I am thinking about marketing my white bbq sauce recipe, and am looking for advice. Can you help me?" You will learn a lot from this, where going in with a salesman hat on will not get you nearly as much. Then at the end of the conversation, you ask "Do you know anyone else who might be willing to give me some advice." Then stay in contact with your best sources and best prospects. This is the way to build a network that eventually can become a source of orders and leads.

https://memphis.score.org/ can help you. This is what SCORE does. Look hard at their 5-session "Simple Steps Starting Your Business" workshop beginning on January 14.
