The T-shirts came yesterday as well and they are SO cool! We met with Aloha POS today which was interesting but it was like a $3000 set up fee to RENT the equipment for another $350 a month (deepest sighs). This is WAY out of our budget. Then we met with Farmer's Insurance to see about catering and/or business insurance. It will be about $700 for the catering insurance and about $1500 a year for the restaurant insurance. We also got additional info on the worker's comp stuff.
THEN we met with this guy who was looking to sell his canopy for food booth activities. It is a really nice commercial canopy, which usually start around $800. He used this one (it's all black) a couple of times and it is really good condition. We got it for $350.
Stein and I decided we would prep this whole "Food booth" thing for the May 28th Peddler's Faire in Downtown Martinez and try to get everything together in time for that. We will just be doing cold foods (which we need to decide upon that selection), but it is a relief to have made the deiscion finally to do it. I was vacillating.
So now I need to get a nice banner and figure out how to best market my product in that venue. I will talk to Trisha of Main Street Martinez next week and see what she recommends. If you pay the $100 fee to join Main St Martinez they do all your permitting etc for you, so it is a pretty low cost event to start with and supposedly the Peddler's Faire is very well attended.
I am thinking for menu
- Grilled Tri-tip Salad with Romesco
- Smoked Turkey and Bacon Cobb Salad
- Pastrami Sandwich
- Tarragon Chicken and Apple Salad Sandwich
- Side Ceasar
- Side Pasta Salad
- Charcuterie platter with pickle and bread
