Question:
My interest is to eventually open a vegan eater in my home town. I wonder if you can share information that would help in creating a healthy business.?
— Tim Hummell
Answer:
Well, first of all, I would love to know where you lived because
as they say location location.
I would say to begin with the needs assessment. I would go
visit other vegan eateries. I would perhaps
look at the network of vegan chefs
that are in your community. We
have a wonderful South Jersey is
just over a bridge. We have a wonderful Rouxbe
graduate who has a cafe called The Gentle
Giant Cafe and if you go
to GentleGiant.com reach out
to Dawn is her name, and I'm
sure that she would be happy to discuss with
you the joys and pitfalls that
might come with operating your own business.
You would also want to establish what kind
of vegan Eatery it would be and
Finding a location becoming an LLC working with
a great lawyer and having that
passion for cooking plant-based food that I'm sure you
already have so great question.
