Frequently asked questions

What should a food truck vendor agreement include?
It should identify the event organizer and food truck vendor, assigned location, operating hours, setup rules, permits, health compliance obligations, menu requirements, payment or revenue share terms, insurance, cancellation rights, and risk allocation.
Who is responsible for food permits and health inspections?
The food truck vendor is typically responsible for maintaining all required mobile food permits, health department approvals, business licenses, and sanitation compliance, unless the agreement expressly assigns specific event-wide permits to the organizer.
Can the agreement use a revenue share instead of a flat vendor fee?
Yes. The agreement can provide for a flat fee, revenue share, minimum guarantee, or a combination. It should define gross sales, excluded taxes or tips, reporting requirements, payment deadlines, and any audit or verification rights.
What happens if the event is canceled due to weather or an emergency?
The agreement should include a cancellation and force majeure clause explaining notice requirements, refunds or retained fees, rescheduling rights, and whether either party remains responsible for unavoidable costs already incurred.
