Mobile Food Units
Mobile food service operations or pushcarts are in many ways like a temporary food service
operation. They have limited menus, and provide food served from single service articles only.
The mobile units are expected to have all the facilities of a full service operation if they prepare
food on site. The pushcarts and limited food service vehicles must have hand washing facilities. This
includes a potable water supply with hot and cold water, soap, paper towels, and a retention tank 15%
larger in capacity than the potable water supply to catch the waste water. They are also required
to have a commissary or a fixed food service operation where they can report daily for restocking
and cleaning. For information on licensing a mobile food business,

Ownership.
