I'd need a bakery. Very important part.
You can actually produce baked goods out of your home with a pretty-easy-to-obtain license from the City. I know a couple folks that have done this (one doing wedding/event cakes, the other does bread) and both have commented on how simple & inexpensive the process was.

>>>maybe he can move into the spot formerly occupied by Byzantium once the landlord forces the soon-to-be-opened Monte Cristo cigar lounge out by raising the rent.
Hehehehehehehe! It's funny because it's true; You just made my morning. On a more serious note, I think that Walker has nailed the business issue. If you want to sell bagals it has to be in the early morning (business should open by 6-7 AM). The location isn't ideal but honestly Spinelli's on Neil does fine and their location isn't much better. I do agree that a cart downtown to get foot traffic might be even better though. Also, good smoked salmon would definitely increase traffic by me :-)

I'd be curious to know how much of Spinelli's business is done on bagels and how much is done on "everything else". They have a pretty wide range of products, and are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Quite a bit different than what CCC was looking to do.

As bagels are non-hazardous, he wouldn't even need a license to sell through someone else's business or storefront. The license is only for potentially hazardous baked goods, such as some pies, donuts with cream fillings, cupcakes with certain frostings, etc. If its non-hazardous (bread, bagel, noodles, plain muffins and such) it falls under the "cottage foods" section of Ohio food law. Its what the Amish and everybody at farmers markets use.

Hazardous baked goods? That just sounds weird. Makes me think of a white haired lady in a hairnet... and a hazmat uniform. ;)
