What License/permits needed to run a mobile food service?
1) Food vendor license from city/county 2) Food safety inspection from city/county 3) OSHA inspection, if you have employees in the truck And possibly more. I’d check into the national or state organization of similar owner/vendors for further assistance. 4) Yes, you’ll need owner’s permission to enter their premises. Most will park outside on a sidewalk instead. It also would help if you talk with the HR department to learn their break and lunch times. Submit a nice letter or such. They may or may not want you around 5) You MAY want to partner with a good local restaurant to offer their food on the go. It’s a great way to expand their clientele, and you to offer better food that you normally can’t. It’s a lot cheaper for the restaurant owner to expand, as a new location would costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, but a new truck can be had for about 25000, and if they partner with you, their expenses are minimal.
