California law giving home-based eateries a pathway to do business legally

[@pillbertdidit]

This is something I tried to do when I was a teenager and once again my dream gets shut down, hearing this gives me hope for the future 🥹.I know most home cooked food is not official so please be a great cook and always keep it clean and official.

[@andrewcampbell3100]

This is to help those that just arrived.

[@eva5601]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@efunkyman6853]

Wait until they find how those California tax and regulations will eat them alive.

[@AKAAAK]

90 meals a week??? You're not going to make a profit unless you sell those meals for $20+ ea

[@thisisme3238]

They haven't realized that yet.

[@houchi69]

Or there may be a loophole with the term "meal". Two tacos do not count as meal for me. So it could be 90 meals a week minimum, but sell as many "sides" and add-ons, which you could get better margins on those

[@AKAAAK]

@houchi69 Very true. There are lots of loopholes that the city will never enforce anyhow.

[@kignacio]

Depends on what you make. There are many high profit margin meals.

[@propblast82nd]

My cat 🐈‍⬛ went missing in that neighborhood 😱

[@eva5601]

😂😂😂😂 Your cat is probably in his pot of Birria.

[@Law19157]

That's going to become a nightmare for neighbors in a quiet residential neighborhood

[@mrsleep0000]

Going to be nightmare for peoples stomachs...

[@_p5661]

quiet

[@Lifeisshortby]

What a slap in the face to real restaurant operators who have a huge investment.

[@Lifeisshortby]

So how can you make a hundred grand a year only serving 90 meals a week,unless you’re the French laundry.

[@steveh5882]

Big brother needs his share. Only reason why it was legalized.

[@4estrnr472]

Just make sure they pay cash. Don’t involve the state or government you’ll regret it.

[@thisisme3238]

Check to see if you need a license ... That's considered a "legitimate business." You'll probably pay taxes on that money too.

[@xcqematic1]

So you promote tax evasion. Tell me, have you ever hated on "the rich" and asked them to pay their "fair share". If you have, you are a hypocrite

[@clarissearmitage1042]

It's not illegal then?

[@bombaybeach208]

What about permits and inspections?

[@Mike__B]

Doesn't seem like this gives a pathway to do business legally, the only things they want to change is to increase the weekly amount of meals from 60 to 90, and to increase the gross sales from 50k to 100k, which sounds like a huge increase but the reality is if you're maxing out meals, and 60 or 90 meals ain't that much in a week the difference is between $16 per meal and $21 per meal. Unfortunately enterprises like the one above tends to be more on the maximum volume -> maximum customer model, as opposed to highest quality -> minimal customers

[@utkbyuca89]

Why open restaurant and pay all those fees when you can just do it from home. Food inspection ? Double standard again.

[@eva5601]

A lady half a block away from my moms home, sells posole, tamales, you know Mexican food. I like Mexican food, but at a friends home, and or a restaurant. A small studio, with rodents, and roaches! Nope! 😮 She is defenantly break the law!

[@rollinia7770]

$15 for food handling certificate or just exchange food with it since it online anyone can do it for them.

[@techworld-kc6lt]

Make sure you don’t have assets for a lawsuit

[@Alexandr-fv8me]

Health Safety? Food poisoning?

[@dapartyat]

It's better people come to the house for food instead of crack.

[@brianp5205]

Will the Health Department make regular inspections? LOL

[@Jnthncrrll]

OH YOU SHUT UP, BRIAN THE TRUMPSTER FREAK!!!!!

[@mrsleep0000]

LOL, good luck out there, who knows what kind of nightmare kitchens people will be cooking stuff in...

[@testicool013]

Another step on the way to being a third world country

[@marcsenteney3160]

I see a road trip in my future! Where are you at? I love traveling for Birria Taco’s!

[@nesianhoney94]

This is wonderful! It's how it was in the past. My grandmother and grandfather had a home based business back home.

[@joannjohnson8283]

They gonna get those taxes no matter what.

[@-Joce]

I just got salmonella poisoning yesterday. Not interested.

[@ravenjorge2830]

My question is how where and when we deal with customers I wouldn’t let any stranger come to my house how about that?

[@xcqematic1]

Terrible idea. Im assuming this is only allowed for detached single family houses. If not, id hate to be the neighbor that has to deal with the smell and the noise. Even for single buildings, the neighbors would have to deal with increased traffic and parking. Also, whos going to enforce the 90 meals per day limit since most will make it cash only to evade tax. It will never be sanitary, and attract rates and roaches. Awful idea

[@John-pz6nm]

NIMBY You got yours Just like Barbeque Becky and all the Karen's out there. If they were white you wouldn't be complaining

[@xcqematic1]

@@John-pz6nm god damnit man, not everything is about race! The issues ive listed are real problems and precisely why residential areas are separate from food production facilities. The neighbors have to suffer from one selfish person wanting run a food business from his house - whats in it for everyone else? Are they going to split the profits?

[@John-pz6nm]

@@xcqematic1 Everyone in every comment section is calling people knitters, go back to where you came from. Would you have got the government involved when Bill Gates was starting a business in his garage,?🤔🙄 Of course not. He is providing food to the hungry and feeding his family. Things you take for granted and hate on others for. It's about entitlement. Are you not white? Just like your comments justifying the SF employee destroying the vendor food cart. You have hate in your heart and direct it towards Hispanics. You've exposed your bias.

[@heyaisdabomb]

@@xcqematic1 Again, it's all about me me me, that's all I hear. What you don't get is that when your neighbors thrive, they aren't committing crimes against you to survive. These cook from home restaurants are very common in South American, and people make them work. Yes, there will increased traffic in your neighborhood. Yes, their will be increased noise. But this is why there will have to be set hours this is legal, and then you have the ability to call the cops if they ignore said hours. Don't want noise? Live in an more excluded place. Especially in any city, you can't expect no noise from 9am to 6pm. That's just part of city life, and even densely populated suburbs. Again, you should want your neighbors to thrive, push them into poverty and then wonder why things are disappearing from your back yard.

[@xcqematic1]

@@heyaisdabomb so setting up a business to make money and forcing neighbors into stress from noise, traffic, parking, and pests is not selfish...? All I hear is me me me

[@anthonymendonca6033]

It's to bad they leave it up to the county to decide if they want to implement that or not. Most of the counties will not allow it due to the lack of man power and extra work load it would entail

[@User-54631]

Money laundering just got whole lot easier. 👍

[@itz.just_steven]

It’s his house let him barbecue in his own backyard 😂🔥they seem fire asf noisy as neighbors I swear I would not consider invite them to any future party

[@eva5601]

They already have rodents and roaches. Now with this home cooking business, I bet the roaches are now everywhere. 😮

[@hyunjungcha1]

Ive seen so many legal Mexican restaursnt are clsing down sice gov allowed street vendors without any restrictions. And I guess nomore Mexican restaursnt will exist in the future in LA. So sad.

[@Toast0808]

California is such a joke.

[@alksjda]

Like yourself

[@namenotfound8747]

Then leave

[@JC-tf2jb]

LoL why would you want to do it legally? Illegally it is tax free!

[@u-verse]

THEY WANT IT LIKE T.J OR AFRICA STREET ARKETS HERE MAN

[@Pararara12]

Just get them out of the country already stop pandering.

[@joannjohnson8283]

For you naysayers, I've been eating from homes for years, never saw anything negative in one of them. Fresh , delicious food. Clean areas to eat . I love they are going to legalise them. Some families started at home and now have restaurants.

[@u-verse]

THEY HELPING THERE PEOPLE

[@smilegia9359]

Ummm yum yum yum :)

[@CD_RN_Independent_Voter]

I can’t think after seeing those birria tacos… yummy
