Help build the characters and create the tensions in my novel.

nano is over but what about the following:
My MC used to work for a restaurant but now works on her own... i thought there would be more about food in the book than there is currently - how important do you think mentioning the reasons behind the switch to working for herself is?
I don't think mentioning the reasons are particularly important, but have them ready for a quick mention if need be. I feel most people would be rather terse about their reasons- "I didn't get along with my boss." Or- "I felt it was time to branch out on my own."
Usually that's enough to sate the curiosity of others. Unless the previous job was really bad. Then she might like a good moan.
It may appear naturally in conversation, as an anecdote for advice, or answering someone's questions.
