The food truck business in Dubai is an emerging business. Dubai is a tourist destination, so the love for the food is always on priority in such circumstances. It’s often considered as Food Truck permit in itself is a license to operate. But in reality a Food truck needs to be backed up by a catering license, a central kitchen or even a food stuff trading license.
The success of the food truck business lies in the way the food is been served and the mobility of the truck to reach different masses.
In the cases where by the truck is backed up by a trading license, a supplier agreement with a central kitchen or a catering service company becomes mandatory.
Approvals required for a Food Truck Permit:
- The permit ranges from weekly, monthly or even yearly from the Department of Economic development
