As someone also in the food industry it’s insane how much equipment costs, but keep up the great work guys!😊

It’s always better to get used equipment that’s at a discount price or go to whole sale places

Honestly 40k is not that bad. To save you could have looked at used stuff. But if you have the capital I would probably go new as well. Good luck!!

I hope you’re still accounting for operating costs after you open for the first month like buying stock , bills etc.

I have a home bakery. My oven alone was $10,000 and mixer was $6500. Fridge $900. Cooling shelf with racks $2000. And that’s not even half of the equipment. Plus ingredients… thank God I don’t have rent or any other overhead costs
