Florida is a great state to open a restaurant or commercial food service establishment in.  The tourism industry combined with high rate of mobility means lots of eating out.

Through the Department of Business and Professional Regulation you can download a variety of forms and inspection reports (on your competitors and also blank ones!).

Look at the availability of material on the net :

• elevator reports and permits
• lodging licenses and inspections
• restaurant and food service licenses and inspections
• restaurant disciplinary activity reports
