Session 2: Day 5 of Cafeazy


Today, we found more out about employment from our guest speaker, Sabrina Espinal. She told us about the Do's and Don'ts of teen employment in particular, such as how nose and tongue piercings are usually frowned upon. Then, we split up to learn about different aspects of business, pertaining more to the legal stuff. We learned about licensing, permits we needed, taxes we had to pay, insurances we needed, and the New York City Health Department regulations we had to follow to stay open.


Sarah B. and Patrick M. in line at the Health Department.


After lunch, it was time to make more phone calls to our PR contacts. Most of them had us redirected to an email address, but it was still very productive seeing as we had over 40 contacts. We finished up a lot of our projects like finalizing our press release and finishing our ad. We also looked up some of our equipment that we needed and found out the prices. We also picked up our freezer that we had ordered from Craigslist.
