I been selling my Peruvian hot sauce at work (Costco) and I only did it because I normally bring a bottle for my own consumption! When my coworkers asked me to try it, they all went crazy for it! There are about 400 employees on my shift and out of those people 150 placed their order and demand for more! I think this is a great business opportunity for me and my family but I Rea don’t know where to start! I got the idea but now I have the motivation to take my sauce to the next level! Thank you for this info… so helpful!

I actually got distracted by my baby and my cat throughout this video, and I still feel like it was so helpful and hopeful. I learned a lot from the tidbits I heard and I am excited to rewatch it with my whole attention once my little gremli- I mean darling baby girl takes a nap! 🙏🏽 I am going to make and sell Italian beef sandwiches. 🙏🏽❤️

I have a sandwich shop, it has a kitchen with oven, proofer and commercial mixer because we bake our own bread. I want to sell other baked goods separate from the sandwich business, have a separate LLC and don't want to sell it in the sandwich shop because it is a franchise. I want to sell it online and just have the baked goods pick up at the sandwich shop or meet my customers at the parking lot. I'm not sure where to start, I'm in WA state. Basically I want to use my commercial kitchen for what I'm more passionate about which is cake and other pastries and make money while having fun.

Also, contact sba.gov for tons of local info (search for your area) and networking in that vein should lead to all the right local information. Maybe a general browser search for your county or city would also help. My state is florida and I found everything through our local state university extension. I bet WA has one too. extention

does processed meat qualify as cottage food?

[@mixedreceptions]

No meat allowed, it's federally regulated.

I made banana bread how can I get started??

[@FoodBizSuccess]

Please visit foodbizsuccess.com/ to get started. :)

[@traciestrong3897]

New York State does not permit any fruit or produce in bread. Examples of prohibited foods, include banana bread and zucchini bread. The reason is because the fruit or produce creates a higher moisture level within the bread. This makes your product less shelf stable, and require refrigeration for storing.

[@marbelyurbina4491]

​@@traciestrong3897and cakes of punmpkin or banana, for example, are allowed?
