Hi ( My First official post ),....

I would like to open a fast food store. Ive done a little searching to find out about this topic, however there is not much on opening one up,... there is heaps on franchising but not if one is starting from scratch.

The part that I am most concerned about is the legal side from a point of view of health department requirements and legislation. Is there anyone out there who could refer me to a good website or book that would aid me?

I am at the beginning of a long road so I would rather do a proper investigation before I really commit to this.

Many thanks,Roland
