A "catering operation" means a food service that is conducted from a permanent food facility (shared primary kitchen facility) approved for food reparation where food is served, or limited food preparation is conducted, at a location other than its permitted location as part of an off-site food service event or when operating in conjunction with a host facility.
A "dependent food service operation" is a person or business who performs a food service operation at or from a permanent food facility (shared primary kitchen facility) for which the dependent operator is not the permit holder. The food service typically involves direct sales to the customer at the shared primary kitchen facility.
A "mobile food facility" is any vehicle used in conjunction with an approved and permitted commissary or other permanent food facility, upon which food is sold or distributed retail.
