How To Open a Restaurant

Opening a restaurant can be very difficult if you don't understand the process. Not understanding the process actually occurs quite often, in fact I am still shocked at how many customers walk through our doors thinking they can just sign a lease buy some equipment and be ready to start selling food. That is not how it works. Each city/county will have different requirements. In some cases even the landlord may have some requirements that must be met before you are able to open the doors of your restaurant. A few of the most basic requirements can be found here on the LA County Public Health website.

After your restaurant is open there are certain Health Department requirements that must be in order to keep your restaurant open. Here is a link to the guide to what the Health Department will be looking for.
