Hi all
m wife and I are thinking seriously about investing in a mobile
espresso cart/espresso catering business. I've been looking at
commercial suppliers, and they all seem to meet similar standards, in
so far as water tank size, sinks, etc. I talked to our local state
health department, as the inspector rold me that my cart would need a
40 (!) gal fresh water tank, and a 45 gal waste water tank, a three bay
sink and a hand washing sink. What she is telling me is nothing like
what I am seeing online.
Has anyone else run into this? Anyone have any input?
Much thanks
Bill N.

In most areas the state is not the correct place for such info. Usually it's
the county or even city whose regulations you must adhere to. Do a Google
search for your "<county > <state> food safety regulation". Or, just ask
local restaurant owners; most will be happy to cooperate.

Check craigslist in the NW, Seattle and Portland. There are lots of
them that are NSF certified and ready to go. It may be a bit of travel
for you of you can have it shipped frieght and for around $500. Either
way you'll save a ton. Look for your local codes online. good luck...

There are on ebay always a good number of carts -- barely used, ready
to go -- for far less than new. Why there are so many should give one
pause.
Have a good location (#1) and turn out a GOOD product and you will be
well on the way.
