Challenges for Home Food Sellers in Washington
With District of Columbia wages averaging $20/hr in food service, hiring help is expensive — automation through online ordering saves real money in Washington
The high cost of living in Washington (152% of national average) means ingredient costs eat into margins — keeping 100% of revenue matters even more
With 3,500+ restaurants already in Washington, home food sellers who rely on social media alone get lost in the noise
District of Columbia restricts cottage food to in-person sales, making it harder to reach Washington customers who shop online
