If You Have An "at Home" Commerical Kitchen Space.
Business By FromScratch Updated 29 Apr 2009 , 1:02am by FromScratch
Hello... I am in the process of getting all of my ducks in a row to convert my garage into a commerical kitchen. I am waiting to hear from the town about zoning and I am also waiting on some questions for the HD. I figured since there are many here who have commerical spaces on their property that you might be able to help this lady who hates to wait... 
I have a question regarding the need for a bathroom in the kitchen. Since there will be no customers coming into my bakery, will I need to put a bathroom in there? I am tired of waiting for return phone calls to questions. I am such a planner and I want to start a floor plan so I can send it int to be reviewed.
Anyway... thanks for any help you can offer. 
mine did not require a bathroom (in or off of) the kitchen. I go back into my house to use the bathroom. My kitchen had to have a hand sink. I think there would be good argument not to have a bathroom off of the kitchen, just opening the door into the kitchen from a bathroom imho is disgusting.
Thank you so much for your response. This is my thinking too... I will have a hand sink and a 3 bay sink and a prep sink as required... I just hate to have to eat up valuable space with a nasty potty in my kitchen...
Oh this is good to hear. Makes life a LOT easier.
Yep, no bathroom here either. It actually made it easier on our inspection according to our inspector because that was one less thing that had to be up to code and within state regulations.
However, my kitchen is detached from the hour and about 1000 feet from my house. Trudging thru 4 feet of snow in arctic temperatures made me reevaluate my liquid intake 
LOL... true. At least my door will be off of my front porch which is covered. I am glad to hear that I most likely won't have to plumb in a bathroom along with all of the other crap. 
Where I live I was told that no bathroom was required unless I had dine-in space for more than 12 people.
I just got the official word that a bathroom is not required since there will be no customers in my kitchen. Now just to hear back from the town if I can even put it in... ahhhh small towns.
