thatshychef Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Mister Mushrat-Your spot is looking great! When you were refering to the Pepsi coolers, are you just getting a open-door cooler for 20 oz. bottles, or a full fountain deal (with syrup boxes and CO2 canisters)? Also, as you're going to be working with the nearby deli, PLEASE look into your local health codes because, depending on how tight-assed health dept. officials are down there, they may consider you the seller of food (aka running an unliscensed restaurant). If worse comes to worse, your may be able to work a deal where the people get their own food, and you allow them to bring it in to your establishment, hopefully, getting a slice of the profit from the deli's business with your customers. I don't mean to be a downer, but it is something to look into, as it may prevent, literally, tens of thousands of dollars in fines. I seriously hope everything goes great. Keep up the good work and good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushrat Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 That: I got it covered. Health inspector has already been to the place, heard what the plan was and said "well, I've got no juristiction then. Nothing to inspect. So, what's with these hookah things?" and we was done. I contacted the l;ocal tax office to find out the tax rate and who should pay what between me and the Deli next door. So I've got THAT programmed correctly in my register. Belive me, I make sure everything is cool before I proceed with a plan like this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
