- Do you need to buy any additional equipment, what will you need and if so how much will it cost (take a picture of Messa Cafe and compare that to what you have and make a list of what you might need to add. (There may be an apportunity to interview Hamad on site and discuss your ideas with him and maybe use his suppliers for a quote!
- Who will supply you with food ingredients? Savona Provisions, Bookerfoodservice or 3663 may be worth a look. Delice de France may also be able to support this.
