I have long had a dream of opening a small store front and sell home made entrees [maybe sides, maybe not] at a reasonable price, say 2 choices each day, then a freezer of 4 and 8 serving entrees to be thawed and reheated. I've been experimenting for years with the cooking for a month recipes and have found many that freeze well and are actually better afterwards...
Hubby wants me to do a market survey and work on a realistic business plan. We live in a very rapidly growing suburb of a large city and there are no great restuarants close, very few good ones so I think it's time to make my mark. I have lots of ideas, but no restuarant or catering experience, some business experience both independently and as a manager in a consulting business.
Those of you who have started a business, or investigated the possibility - please share your insight, websites and any books, courses etc that I need to look into.
TIA!!!
