I'm trying to start my own BBQ vending business. My biggest obstacle is the Montgomery County health department. They require that all prep work is done in a licensed commercial kitchen. Even a mobile kitchen requires a licensed commercial kitchen as a "base of operations". They will not license a residential kitchen for commercial use.
I've contacted a few commercial kitchens in the area to see about renting time in their kitchens. I haven't heard anything yet.
Does anyone out there have experience working with health departments with similar requirements? Any advice?
I understand and respect the need for regulations to ensure that the public is served food that is safe. At the same time requirements that are overly tight restrict the growth of new business which is needed in this economy.
