If you start a food truck, would you condsider that investing?

You shouldn't give any equity, if this person is in your network they should just be doing this to help build you, if they are going to do some part of it where you can dump those issues on their plate while your plate has other issues then yeah split it fairly but it sounds like you are going to purchase the food, cook the food, plate the food, and all they will do is suggest where to get it, what recipe to use, and how to garnish it, all of which you can research on your own and learn from doing.At most, agree on a flat consultant fee, pay them that once or however often they help you connect or answer your questions and split the equity between the people who do the real work.

Food crumbs and pet dishes are attractive to mice.Good luck!

It will take a few weeks to work its way through a complete life cycle, and you will need to be very diligent about denying food sources (food crumbs, pet food, etc.), but it will work and you do not need to vacate the apartment to treat.
