I'm looking for a Boiler Plate of an Existing Wholesale Agreement, between a Private Brand Roaster, and a Restaurant, with a time lock to be given attention to. For an End Date. Does your existing contract, provide terms other than the standard 30 day net? Like I said, just looking for a...

Starting a New Brand, with the intent on keeping a Private Lable, as your Co-Packer, is going to meet you with a lot of opposition on these boards. The reason that you are getting the Push-Back is because you don't seem to want to sell Specialty Coffee, but you are erring more on the Commodity...

To heat your water, consider something, they make a Stock Pot Stove, about 2' high, wide and Sturdy, and a Commercial Alumimum Pot, with a Lid. A large one will cost you under $100.00 and will take years to wear out. I consulted years ago, with a Fire Dept, doing a Haunted Hayride in October...

He said that he paid $38,500, but it did not fit into the new Roastry that he built and right now it is on display in one of his coffee shops. It's never even been turned on.
