Usually you use a recipe for bisquit or joconde for thin layers of sponge cake, it comes in a chocolate version (where you sub some of the regular flour with cocoa or add a little cocoa),  It might just be layers of sponge and...

It will depend on whether or not you are using grated chocolate, melted chocolate or cocoa powder to the meringue. With melted chocolate, you'd add it at the end and fold rather quickly to incorporate it; the meringue should be stiff...

Aside from tempering chocolate to coat them in, you could roll them in cocoa powder or use candy melts, which are available at craft stores and don't require tempering.

Some things you should wait to buy once you know what your space will look like - e.g., sinks, (3 bay, prep, hand and mop sinks)   the oven maybe depending on what it is (convection, revolving, deck) and how you would store...

I've only ever used gas convection ovens so I have no comparison to electric ones; I bought a double stack Blodgett last year and it's been great. Mine is on wheels so you can move it if needed.  Get the size that holds full size...

I don't think they'd be scaling up a recipe if they're testing them...... it's not until you have a formula that works that you're going to see how it scales up to know whether you can bake more. If they've set up a test kitchen, is it...

Your oven choice will depend on where it is being installed.  If you are thinking to get a convection oven (which will definitely be able to bake 100 cookies at a time!) you may need to get an electric oven rather than gas because...
