MIchael, this is a very generic question.
There a few areas to look into and each one has it's own answer based on your local codes, suppliers and local market.
You probably need to start with:
Business plan: You need to at least draw down some numbers based on your competition. If you don't plan to ask for a load your business plan can just be for yourself and not super detailed. You need a framework, know what to expect.
The product: do you have your supplier already? Research prices in your area and in similar businesses.
Permits: Your town will have its own specific requirements since you are basically selling food. They MAY require an insurance.
IRS: You will need a tax ID to report your sales.
CC Charges: You will need a merchant account to accept different types of payments.
What have you done so far?
