Series Overview: Have you ever thought about opening your own food service business? Have you said aloud, “I should open a food truck or a restaurant"? Do you know what steps to take to make this a reality? The six-part series, How to Launch a Food Service Business: From Spark to Start, will walk you through the steps to consider from the initial idea to obtaining your certificate of occupancy. Session #1 will provide a big picture overview that will be followed by five additional sessions where the essential fundamentals of opening and operating a food service business will be presented in more detail. Each session will provide tangible action items that if followed will make your idea of a food service business a reality by the end of the series! Session #1 Overview: In this session we will look at the big picture of the food business ecosystem. What are the different types of businesses? What are the requirements of each type and how do I begin?
