I'm considering opening a shared-use kitchen in my area...a
commercially-equipped kitchen meeting local codes where individuals
can produce food goods for sale without investing in the equipment
themselves, or at least being able to forego that investment until
after their business has taken off.

Does anyone have one of these facilities near them, have you used one,
and would you care to share your experience? Also, if this type of
arrangement interests anyone, it'd be great if you would fill out a
survey I have online to help me build a business plan. My target area
is the northern-Detroit suburbs, but anyone willing to share would be
helpful. You only need to fill in as many details as you feel
necessary. And if there's enough interest in another market, I'll
compile that info and make it available to an aspiring entrepreneuer
in that area...if that person exists.

The survey is at: http://www.stewartfip.com/kitchen/kitchen.asp

Thanks!
Matt
