We have health codes and regulations to prevent commercialization of food production in potentially substandard conditions. It prevents both good and bad things.
now that is absolutely terrible isnt it, if a person wants to start a cloud kitchen even at home, they should be able to do so unless it causes a disturbance to neighbors. as long as regular inspections can be arranged, this should be a non issue for starters. i have a feeling the BIG FOOD industry has rigged this section of the law so that their authority on ultra processed food is not challenged
Pro Tip: You're going to need a floor drain in your kitchen as a first step.
