How to Start a Mobile Kitchen Service

Catering businesses can take it to the next level by making their services mobile. Mobile kitchen service units are in existence all over the country. Take your food to your customers instead of making them come to you. Start a mobile kitchen service with your special menu.

Instructions

1. Look for companies that sell mobile kitchen units. Compare price and features before you buy.

2. Visit your local Board of Health Agency to find out what permits you will need. They will provide all the information about street vending that you will need to get started with your mobile kitchen service.

3. Choose what type of food you want to sell. Sell sandwiches or prepare full dinners according to what will sell best in your area. Or sell everything made to order.

4. Decide where you want to go with your mobile kitchen service. Some companies will let you park and sell on their property but they usually want a fee in return. Street parking is also allowed in some areas but be sure to check with local authorities first.

5. Check zoning regulations in your neighborhood if you plan on parking your mobile kitchen unit at your home. Many residential areas will not permit this so be sure not to overlook this step.

6. Rent or purchase a space to store your mobile kitchen unit. Also, be sure to check into commercial waste disposal. The waste company that services your area should be able to provide a dumpster for the waste that will be created from your mobile kitchen service.
