[4] A common practice is for modern food booths to operate as concession stands at various kinds of special events.
These may be operated by small independent vendors, catering companies, or by established restaurants offering a subset of items featured from a more comprehensive menu.
In some situations, nonprofit orgs may face slightly lower processing fees, or less stringent regulations and contractual requirements, making such operations relatively more advantageous.
[5][6] Depending on the jurisdiction, and local customs, operators of such booths ordinarily require a temporary food sales permit and government-issued licenses.
[7] Typically operators also must demonstrate compliance with various regulations for sanitation, public health and food safety.
