You’re 6 permits, 3 inspections, and 47 pages of paperwork away from serving your first customer.

Most people find that out the hard way — after they’ve bought the truck. We sell the documents that get you through it, written in plain English by people who actually run food operations.

What you get

Exactly what your state requires

Not a generic list. The permits, the order to get them in, and who to call — with the statute cited so you can check us.

Templates built to be filled in

HACCP plans, temperature logs, cleaning schedules, label templates. Made to be printed and written on, not admired.

Plain English, not lawyer-speak

No government PDFs that make your eyes glaze over. If a rule is confusing, we say so and tell you what to ask.

A folder that satisfies an inspector

Everything in one place, in the order they’ll ask for it. That’s the whole point.

What we don’t do

We don’t file your permits. We don’t submit anything on your behalf. And we don’t promise you’ll pass an inspection — nobody honestly can, because food rules are set county by county and change without notice.

What we do is make sure you know exactly what you need, have every document ready before you’re asked for it, and walk in knowing where you stand.

Where something depends on your county or your market, we say so plainly instead of guessing. That’s not us being careless. That’s the honest answer, and it’s the difference between a guide you can rely on and one that just sounds confident.

Inspection coming up?

Need the whole thing in one kit?

State-specific kits go further: which statute applies to you, your exact label wording, fill-in worksheets and a batch log. Indiana is first, and nearly ready.

Built by food vendors, for food vendors. We run two food operations — The Sip Ship and Big D’s Texas Pit. Everything we sell is the paperwork help we wished someone had handed us on day one. More about that →
