@Samong Som That is INCREDIBLE! I totally support that trip to Cambodia and firmly believe it'll inspire you to greater lengths when you're there, embracing culture and cuisine. Then you'll be making us all amazing foooood :D

This is a totally valid and important concern! So, since it's just you, many people start off as sole proprietorship. It has its benefits and free to file as so. But the LLC would separate your personal assets from your professional expenses. Your profit margins are higher right now and most likely be at its highest. If you decide to get into a food truck, it'll revolve around other expenses but honestly, profit margins are still relatively great because other than paying for insurance, propane, gasoline to haul the trailer or truck, permits, inventory, POS system, then everything else would be in your pocket. When you're charging for food there are two ways you could do it. Include the state sales tax in your pricing already ($15 flat rate with tax included) which is appealing for the consumer. Or you could do it the way most businesses do and separate the 6%. In Idaho, if you have a certified food truck with proper sinks, different tanks for clean and waste water, and other specifications that generally change year-by-year, then you could essentially prepare your food inside your trailer as your commissary. It gets challenging if you're mass producing product, but it works if you're making just enough for day-to-day operations. If you're doing a large event such as Art in the Park, or Treefort festival, there'd be no way to store that much food for a crowd of thousands of people (you know? ) haha. This is what I've found thus far since I've been out of the food truck game for a couple of years. https://cdh.idaho.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Mobile-Food-Establishments-Requirement-Table.pdf Commissaries are hard to find in Treasure Valley. The ones currently available are booked for months and they are expensive, so I hear ya! Regarding your pricing, I would use the basic formula of finding out exactly how much it costs you to make it. Then multiply it by 3.5 to cover all of your expenses including your own profit, then you'll have a general idea of what you should/could sell it for.

@Samong Som I’m so glad!!! Ask me anything, anytime. 🥰

@Chia-Li Ho How exciting! I’ll need to make my way over there soon!! And amen sister! I agree with your stance! You’re so talented.

Checking in with you all. I'm sure you all know the news of Charlie Kirk. This brings it back to how we view society and where our country and world is going. I won't tap into any politics or religion, but I would like to comment on spreading kindness. That's how we can effectively make a difference. It may not be a huge difference, but it's going against the hate in this world. So next time you see someone who has a nice outfit on, make it known to them. Or buy someone a coffee. My win for today is allowing myself to take a breather by doing absolutely nothing. I laid in bed and enjoyed a little slice of silence and solitude. It's my form of resetting. I hope you all had a good day, given everything that has happened.
