Opening day for RSS BBQ roadside vending, very excited to finally get things going!
I am at that point where I neee to make some cash in order to survive:!:
I am thinking of a home based BBQ operation. I intend to have garage sale on weekends and just happen to be smoking some goodies and sell it on the side(under the table so to speak).
I was going to start by offering small samples to those comming by, and when hooked, take orders.:wink:
Would this work:?: The cookie ladies did it that way:!:
Help a brother:wink:
Good advice. If the health dept came by you'd be in a world of trouble and then trying to get legal would be a real pain. Or someone from the city could say where's you're license to sell in this city.county or whatever. Or a State person might say are you submitting sales tax. All can lead to criminal charges and legal bills.Get legal and stay legal!!!
The people you will be hurting is not only yourself , imagine if someone decides to sue you claiming your food made them sick then where would you be?
Running a 'cowboy' operation will only tarnish the rest of us that get legal and try and earn a living.
The economy isn't good for millions of us but that's the way things are at the moment. Believe me I have had to sell my car and several other things just so I could get insurance and take the required FSA (food safety) classes.
If you are going to do it your way then I wouldn't go bragging about it on a public forum.:icon_shy

Hi Alvin
Good to meet you at the weekend.
I promised you I would send you electronic copies of the temperature log sheets I gave you. I have revised them slightly to reflect event catering. Please give them a whirl...I would be interested in feedback on the forms - good and bad!
I must stress that these forms are not a legally prescribed format ...you do not have to use them. They are offered as help only as they cover the recording of information EHO's tend to request!
Something along these lines should keep you serve you well and make life easier to boot!
Good luck with the BBQ!
Regards
Jenny
