Food Truck Commissary Requirements
Most food trucks need a licensed commissary or approved fixed food facility on file with the local health department. Requirements vary by city and county, but the commissary usually supports food prep, storage, cleaning, water, wastewater, and paperwork for your mobile food permit.
What to confirm before choosing a commissary
- Does the kitchen accept food trucks or mobile food vendors?
- Can they provide a signed commissary agreement or letter?
- Is the facility currently permitted by the local health department?
- Is truck parking available?
- Are fresh water fill and wastewater disposal available?
- Is cold storage or dry storage available?
- Are hourly, daily, or monthly rental options available?
Always verify availability, pricing, and permit support directly with the provider before applying for your food truck permit.
