SETTING UP
We look at key information regarding the physical setup of a business. Starting with important information from Auckland Council, or your local council, about zoning for a location and approvals for alterations to a building, formulating a food control plan, getting approval for an alcohol licence.
We then look at the equipment you may need to use and commercial kitchen food safety requirements - from refrigeration and extraction systems to types of ovens and coffee machines, flooring and much more.

HOW TO COST
We will discuss look models of how to calculate what you should sell your product for - the retail margins, as well as the cost breakdown as well, has how you are going to pay your self.
Lots to think about and learn in this one day workshop.
Celia Hay, director of the New Zealand School of Food and Wine and hospitality entrepreneur having established 10 different business and has a wealth of knowledge about how to establish and then grow a business.

Buses

Linda from Henderson

Still on the buses theme of a couple of weeks ago.

St John staff in hazmat suits help three people into ambulance🚑

Fiona from Henderson

If the case did not meet the definition for coronavirus (Covid-19), then why were the St Johns crew all in hazmat suits?
Did they suspect it was upon picking up the patients and later it was confirmed to be not the case or was it something else going on?
