Example: In my home town, there is a family that wanted to operate a food truck. The problem was not the food-handling regulations that all restaurants have to meet - it was ones specific for food trucks. They could not park on public property. (IE: no parking on streets.) They had to store their food in proper food storage outside the truck, but not at their home. (IE: rent freezer space from a restaurant.)
So basically, to operate a food truck, they had to have a restaurant ... or sign an agreement with one to store their food. They would also have to operate out of somebody's parking lot.
