Depends entirely on the lease agreement that was signed. My wife owns a bakery. We recently leased a new space to upgrade to a much larger facility. The least we signed with the new building states that we don’t have to pay anything in rent until 4 months after we open. Doesn’t matter how long that takes.
My wife owns a bakery. You can expect to easily spend between 50k to 100k on equipment. A lot will depend on what, exactly, you need and whether you can get some stuff second hand. For example, we just recently bought a second large mixer. 60qt Hobart… We bought a used one for 6k. A new one would be closer to 30k. We’re also looking at a large roll-in oven, which if we find a used one, would likely cost us around 10k to 15k but new would be in the 50k to 60k range.
However, at least where I am, the largest hurdle you’re likely to face is zoning, permits and inspections. If you find a location that already has an approved kitchen you’ll be in for a much easier time than if you have to build a kitchen from scratch with all of the regulations that go along with that.
Yeah,.good luck with that
