Cart Design
Dear Kickstarters,
I wanted to give you all a quick update of where I am in the process.
If you've been to India, you probably remember the little carts on the side of the road selling chai and other goodies. My vision of a chai cart is very similar those carts.
Ideally I would have liked to brew the chai on-site. After speaking to SF Heath Dept, I realized I would need to add quite a few things (like a 3-compartment sink, ventilation, etc), which would turn the cart into a food truck. But I really wanted was a simple cart and that meant I had to change my plan.
I now plan to brew the chai at the commissary, fill the Cambro containers and use the cart as a point of sale. The people SF Health Dept were very cooperative. They agreed to approve this plan if I complied with few simple regulations.
The new cart design should be done in a few days. I am still undecided on whether I want an umbrella or a canopy. I am open to suggestions, so please let me know what you think will look better.
