hey.. we have just opened one.. its kind of hard wish we never started on it.. money coming in money going out... make money loose money + you (NEED) to get some one in to do the profits of everything that is where the money goes... luckily enough a family member is doing it for nothing for us..
you need a license for cooking.. and if its like a van selling food you have to get promising of the council.. and then health and safety.. it alot of money starting up.. but after a good couple of years you get it all back :)
