Mobile food truck businesses have been around for a number of years. But the popularity of starting a mobile food van business and catering startups really grew when COVID-19 became prevalent. Hospitality workers, chefs and business owners had to flip the script when it came to their usual business plans, and mobile food businesses were a viable way they could pivot with the industry and still maintain their livelihood.
They remain popular simply because they are more cost-effective to run than your average bricks-and-mortar restaurant or cafe, and can move from location to location with the right permits and approvals.
A food business compliance audit is conducted on new and existing food businesses to ensure they are licensed and following the correct procedures or protocols outlined by the local government.
It includes everything from cleanliness and hygiene to food storage and transportation, whether the equipment you’re using is defective, management procedures and so much more.
In Queensland, you are required to have a compliance audit completed when setting up a food business – whether you’re taking over an existing company or just starting out.
After undergoing training and certification, a food safety supervisor acts as a point of contact for local authorities, designs and maintains food safety protocols, builds measures to prevent hazards and trains staff in workplace safety procedures.
They also ensure your customers aren’t exposed to food-borne illnesses while on your premises and help protect your company in food management.
You cannot be a food safety supervisor without the relevant qualifications. If you need assistance with food safety compliance or more information on how to start a catering business, contact us.
A food safety plan is all about compliance and following the rules outlined by your local governing body. As such, they need to be completed by a professional. We have team members on hand who can assist with this, so if you need help, get in touch.
