I have a friend getting into the food business. What's your best advice?
Answered by:
You will likely see the licensing cost about the same. What varies is the license approval based on food safety and sanitation plan, that can get complicated depending on the type of food categories. Regardless of the option you choose, you will need to go through the license approval process.
I would also recommend to consider your main customer and that usually help to segregate what you need. Having a permanent location, restrict customers that you could reach while the food truck give you flexibility to move around.

Could you explain a bit more about the licensing process per each concept?

Hi Xavier, I would recommend that anyone intending to be in either these option to get in touch with the local authority that he/she like to operate at.
I advise primarily on food safety and sanitation plan development, which you would imagine vary based on the processing and nature of product. If you are keen, I offer a complimentary call to see if I can help.
