In this bitesize episode we delve into the unglamourous details that every start up needs to think about, including:

- Kitchen planning: walls, floors and ceilings: is it durable and cleanable? Do you have a wash hand basin and have you thought about your potwash set up?

- Do you have the right equipment, lighting and electricity supply?

- Think about pest proofing, deep cleaning and extraction systems.

- Get yourself registered as a food business 28 days before you open.

- STAFF TRAINING! Food hygiene and people management go hand in hand so invest in both and you'll be off to a strong start :)

And oodles more about looking after your people from the lovely Lucy.
