Yes. California's MEHKO program (AB 626) lets you cook and sell meals from your home kitchen, and LA County is currently waiving the $597 permit fee for the first 1,000 home kitchens through June 30, 2026. You can set up a free Chefry menu now and take pre-orders the day you're approved.
Create a free menu on Chefry, open an order window (for example Friday–Sunday), set a cutoff time, and share your link in your LA neighborhood groups. Customers pay up front, so you cook to confirmed orders and never over-buy.
