Hi Carolina, Pompanadas is an exciting name to see on a new business in Pompano Beach. Starting with a booth instead of a restaurant keeps costs modest while you test recipes and prices with real customers. Here is what we will cover: how to structure Pompanadas, the tax IDs it needs, and the licenses that let you open in Pompano Beach, then a quick recap.
Empanadas with meat or cheese fillings need refrigeration, so they can't be made under Florida's cottage food law; you'll need to cook in a licensed commercial kitchen and hold a food service permit for selling at markets. Many farmers markets will also ask for liability insurance and a Florida sales tax registration, since prepared food is taxable. A shared commissary kitchen is the common route for vendors starting out.
Tip: Ask whether your area allows home-cooked food for sale under cottage food rules before cooking in your own kitchen.
To recap: Pompanadas in Pompano Beach, FL needs an LLC, a DBA, an EIN, a sales tax permit, a business license, food service permit, and food handler card. Handle these early and the business starts on solid ground.
