Re: Mobile Oven in Action

Do you have pictures of you outdoor set up? I am trying to do an outdoor pizza cart that meets health inspections here in Maine. Please share any ideas....

Re: Mobile Oven in Action

I have a regular gig at a winery in Dallas called Times Ten Cellars - we do pizzas every Wed night there now. We did just over 100 pizzas in 3 hours on a Wed night...so pretty good. I will take pics of the set up and get them posted. The challenge with Health Depts is that they don't know what to make of the mobile ovens. Typically they won't give you an "annual permit" like a catering truck, but you can easily get "temporary food establishment permits". The biggest issues are: handwash station (can be a bucket and a cooler with a spigot), 3 compartment sink (3 buckets - wash, rinse, sanitize), and refrigeration (telehort's genius idea of the Silver King Prep Rail). That all seems to work with temp permits. They also seem to frown on coolers being used as storage. Keep in mind this is all at public venues where you are selling direct to the public. If you cater private events at private homes to invited guests, its more of a free for all.

Billi - I agree with Jay about the
"The biggest issues are: handwash station (can be a bucket and a cooler with a spigot), 3 compartment sink (3 buckets - wash, rinse, sanitize), and refrigeration"
I can tell you in our area we also need our prep area to be screened in. My 10x10 pop up has sidewalls all around with a small pass through flap that the pizzas get passed out so I can put them in the oven and then I have to pass them back in so they can be sold out the front of the 10x10. It is a bit weird, but one of those things the county wants. For us, coolers are ok for storage.
