Do food trucks need a permit to cater in California?
Food trucks need a valid health permit from the state or county where they are based, and many cities also require a local vending or event permit, especially on public property. For a private event on private land, ask the truck to confirm its permits and your venue's rules.
Is catering taxed in California?
In most states, prepared food and catering are subject to sales tax, and some states also tax the service charge. Rates and rules vary by state and city, so ask the caterer to show tax as a separate line on the quote.
Plan ahead with the catering cost calculator, the food quantity calculator and the catering checklist.
