First of all congratulation on your "focus". Not many 13 year olds are that focused. The best place to start would be to make a call to your area/state's Health Department or Department of Agriculture they can direct you from there and you can pass the info along to your "PARENTAL UNITS".
Most states require that you have "commercial" equipment in place and to code before they will come to inspect and let you open.
here are a few things that you may need...
a stainless steel hand sink
a 3 or 4 bay stainless steel sink ( depending on your area)
a commercial oven
if you use gas you may have to get special permits and inspections from your local fire department.
if you're going to "COOK", you need an ancel system
a grease trap if you're going to cook also, if you are just baking...they may not need you to have one. I don't need one here in Florida...but thinking of getting a "portable" one for under the sink, just in case that 'need' changes.
storage shelving
large containers for your flour and sugar
commercial refrigeration
Stainless steel prep tables
(most of the equipment your family can purchase used)
floor and walls that are easy to clean.
Some of the other Chef's here can assist you better, I'm sure!!!
Good Luck!!  |
