Once you find your location, arrange to lease or purchase it. You will want to engage the services of a real estate lawyer and perhaps a commercial real estate broker. You will want to ask the local health department if it will pre-inspect your property before you completely remodel or build a new kitchen. In Houston, for example, you will need to submit your plans for remodeling or building a new kitchen to the Bureau of Consumer Health Services. You can read the requirements for an inspection on the bureau's website. A pre-inspection will help you determine where to put equipment and what repairs, if any, you need to make to the property.
