I spent parts of today looking at all the “possible” paperwork and run-around that would go into creating a pop-up restaurant in SF.  There’s a lot.  I put “possible” in quotation marks because I’m not settled on whether this experiment  will be legal.  There is the fictitious name, the business license, the health and safety bit, and that’s just to crack the surface.  I got in way over my head in the span of about fifteen minutes and immediately resigned to taking advantage of the brain trust I have in friends who have offered to help with advice.  Hopefully I can get some good suggestions that point me in the right direction.

The good news: there is no registered fictitious names in SF County for “Oval”.  So, that’s probably the first place that I’ll put my efforts: tackle getting Oval as a real business name on paper with the city and state.  Then, perhaps make it an official registered business.  More to come soon.
