Kitchen Space Request/bus.proposition
Business By notjustcake Updated 10 Mar 2007 , 4:41pm by notjustcake
Ok so my DH's coworker knows heard from my church saying no to renting their kitchen so we remembered he has some friend's that own a local restaurant, very small anyways he said to send something in writing about what I'm looking for details of what I do and how I want to work and what I would need from the oven, refrigerator, storage, well I have tons of questions I already have read some threads on not too offer all my free goods and let them dispose of me whenever they want to, I would prefer to set a fee but also I know this place is in desperate need of a baker they sell baked goods but not cakes like what us cake decorators make! What do you smart ladies suggest I say do or what I need to tell them I need from the get go, can I bake there and bring the cakes home? I have a refrigerator in the garage, my husband thinks I should bring the cakes home, I think is important they let me store some of my goods in there I can be bringing that stuff back and forth, ok about storing my cake pans and such isn't easier to just travel with those as needed I have a pretty serious amount of cake decorating stuff I rather just take what I would need for each project... Well also what would be a reasonable amount of a fee to offer to pay for the rental space in case they don't want to trade baked goods or my time baking for them
Thanks in advance if this doesn't work I will keep looking
You still have many unknowns, but no, you cannot take the cakes home with you, at least not legally.
The best arrangement is a cabinet that will lock, to keep some of your equipment.
Suggest a trial for x number of months, so see how much time you think you need in the kitchen.
You need to see the kitchen to see how clean it is, whether you have to clean before you can work and clean up after.
I think that if they do not agree to letting you work there in trade then you should figure out how much baking you do now. What is your profit now? Then, present a figure you know you can handle. This way, just incase your productions does not increase right away your not stuck with a loss. Good luck with this.
I know someone who keeps all her stuff in a rolling toolbox from home depot. It locks & is easy to move around the kitchen she shares.
You can't legally take anything home...cakes, supplies, ingredients, ect. I have no advice on renting/baking for someone else. Just thought I'd let you know about transporting items to/from a commercial kitchen.
