Home based pizza delivery

As far as regulations, all states are definately not the same. In Maine we had a Bakery/Coffee shop that we ran out of our home. They didn't have a problem with us using our kitchen. It worked out great but I fear Kentucky might be a little different.

This is what I want to do, bypass the regulations! What would happen if I get caught? A slap on the wrist and a don't do that!

Bingo! we have a winner.
I have an unemployed friend who is smoking meat, making sandwiches, and selling them door to door at businesses.
I remember reading about someone making a portable wood fired pizza oven on a trailer.

I live 15 miles from town. Two miles is off the pavement. It takes longer to drive the two miles, than it does the other 13. Sometimes more than fifteen minutes... go any faster and you need a helmet and a mouthpiece to protect your head and teeth.

Well, Happy7farm, if you are trying to start an "under the radar" type of business chatting about it on an interstate/international forum may not be the best thing to do.

We have a fellow who sells bread at our local farmer's market who has a portable brick oven. He fires it off with wood and it has enough residual heat to bake the bread during the farmer's market. He also has loads of pre-cooked bread which wasn't made on the spot in the brick oven but is really tasty anyway. He sells out of the hot bread before it even gets out of the oven.

How about a portable pizza kitchen?

You have a portable concession stand all rigged up to make pizza's and as soon as you get a call for pizza you quickly make the pizza's and stick them in the oven and take off driving to the resident. Just as the pizza is done you arrive at the resident and you hand them a very hot just made pizza. By this time you should be getting your next delivery call and off you go to the next resident. Might have to be a 2 man team if you get very many calls. One to drive while the other makes pizza's.

Just kidding! However, was watching the world news the other night and they was telling about people investing in portable concession stands and setting up in front of business area's and serving to people on their lunch break. They would set up for about 15 - 20 minutes and then quickly move on down the road to the next business area. These weren't your regular hotdog/corndog stands either. They were very professional catering business such as Chinese food or Italian foods and other specialty foods. They showed the inside of one and it was set up buffet style. People would enter one end of the travel trailer and exit the other end with a plate full of food.

The portable hotdog/corndog stand, or pizza stand my not be a bad ideal either. I live out here in the country where many baseball games are being played at the smaller communities. Sometimes they may have 2 or 3 ballgames back to back. Most of them don't have open concession stands for the ball players and fans to use. They all have to drive down to the nearest conveniant store to get something to snack on. I've thought it might be worth it if a person bought a used school bus and converted it into a portable concession stand. Find out when ballgames will be playing and set up at the ball parks.

Just remember in a few States and spreading is Pizza Hut coming in to small towns and setting their truck up in store parking lots people know this and phone in orders to pick them up a specified time. So this is being spread around the country I know this is being down in MO in several small towns already.

I have a neighbor who is cooking cakes and selling them at the farmers market 'under the radar' when she looked at the regulations for installing a commercial kitchen at her place they required a commercial level well and commercial septic system for a total of $10,000. Said she would never be able to make and sell enough cakes to make that much. And this is before the first cement was laid or first board nail up.
