Right now Artisan foods are very popular, I'd suggest being able to stock them if you can. Merchant lets you divide up your vendors more so as to help the customer when they are looking

I buy my tissues so for me BE isn't necessary.

It depends a lot on what you are going to do.

Folks don't like 1 vendor with everything on it, cause it takes a long time to look through everything, don't get me wrong they will do it begrudgingly.

At the minimum you'd probably want a Singles Food Vendor, Singles Drink Vendor, Crate Food Vendor and Crate Drink Vendor. Some folks don't keep singles, but I find especially after the CU that singles sell decent enough. You might want to have a separate vendor to handle special orders too. By dividing it up some you help your customers and they will come back to a well organized shop where they don't spend a lot of time wasted looking through pages of stuff to find what they want. So lets see that's 5 vendors. You wouldn't need a lot of Merchant to get 5 vendors. Probably just 0002, but I'd probably go 0004 if you could for the extra storage.

If you get Master BE then you can make your own tissues for heavy food additives. If you've got the time to invest in making your own tissues you can save some money this way. However combining BE with Chef takes a considerable amount of time especially getting started up. But if you got it that's cool , there are lots of BE/Chefs. If you get BE 0 4 0 4 you can still make all the tissues but the heavy ones, and you would still have 10 points to experiment ( 12 pts if you work up a suit ). However I must say that if I were going to have BE on my chef, I'd go all the way, cause not much point in it if you are going to have to buy your INNs and the flavor heavies ( both of which are useful these days ).

44xx for thepts

xx4x so you can sell stuff

xxx4 so you can survey efficiently

Master cause its only 1 more point

Master Chef

BE 0-4-0-4 (so, medic 0-0-0-4, scout 0-0-4-0.. takes alot of points)

Master Artisan

Merchant 0-0-0-3

If you want both master chef and Be you can't be master artisan. I dont use alot of heavy additives so it's no big lost, and I prefer being able to survey efficiently.
