[information help for takeaway]

I am starting researching into opening a takeaway restaurant.  Can anyone give me some starting tips please.  I would like to know who I register with, if I need qualifications/certificates....and anything else I need to know......just to get me started

thanks very much

[How is your plasterboard between your exposed beams?]

Just a suggestion, but how about plastering the ceiling flush and using nice lights to add character? 

We have a kitchen/sitting room and had to run pipes in the ceiling of  the kitchen half, so we have beams with plasterboard between the beams in the sitting room half, and flush ceiling in the kitchen. 

I think it looks fine, we have opted for a modernish kitchen, but I think if you chose lighting carefully and have other features in your kitchen, like a bit of exposed stonework or nice units I reckon it would look nice....especially if you have your plaster left a little rough.
