Hi,
My friend and I had recently tried to open up this little cafe selling smoothies and tea. We had gotten our floorplanes/blueprints drafted out, submitted to the heatlh department to get the 'okay'.
So after about a week, I got a call from the lady telling me I am missing a handsink and grease trap for the inside of the store. I made sure that's all that was needed.
So we went ahead with some small renovations, and now, I'm told we need a grease trap/interceptor that's for the OUTSIDE. Her supervisor said so.
Usually, when opening a smoothie store, not even cooking anything to have that much FOG to start with, is it required to have grease traps both in and out the perimeter of the shop? I mean, I know it'll narrow down to the city's code and such, but it's hair-pulling at the moment. I am told one way, and now another. What is this?
Lelia.

tamaleman33: Lol, I know. I'm just afraid after i'm done with all this, they'll say I need this, add that, etc. They seem to be very good at doing that. And I'm just aggravated.

Bureaucracy go!
The way I see it, if it can shut down your store, look into the prevention!

I'm an older dudette, so would you like my opinion??? It sounds like a great idea! Have coffee beans for sale - the ones you would use in your shop. Chocolate coated coffee beans YUM! Have low fat versions of your smoothies. Offer samples of the different types of smoothies you would sell. This is a great way to minimise wastage - like when you make a smoothie and there is some left in the blender - use this as samples. Wendy's do this and I find that I am a little reluctant to buy a smoothie that I have not tasted before, so by having a 'taste' first I'm more likely to buy another flavour. Hope this helps.

i work at cinnabon and we have TONS of grease off of out pans cause we use like over 40 pounds of butter every day and you can imagine how much melts down and gets washed down the sink. but we only have 1 grease trap right next to the sink in the back.
