I know that in Colorado, a law was passed in 2012 (or earlier) allowing people to prepare food in home kitchens as long as it's sold directly to the customers (i.e. not wholesale). This has allowed many small-scale food providers to sell their goods at farmer's markets.
Also, this could be useful for established catering companies which have commercial kitchens.
- smt88 12y agoI googled the Colorado law you mentioned [1]. It wouldn't apply for the use case mentioned by the OP. It seems to be restricted to food "products", like baked goods or pickles. It has a lot of other restrictions that would make it incompatible with the OP's service. I agree about the catering thing, but it doesn't seem like that's the core of their idea.

- narrowrail 12y agoInteresting; I never bothered to know the specifics. I know of some people violating these laws, but they are rather small (so, likely to remain under the radar). My understanding is that there are commercial-grade kitchens one can rent, but rates are cost prohibitive for truly small operations.
