Standards are Crazy

Being informed of your local regulations is key when starting your food truck or trailer. We are approached by people all over Colorado for bids this takes us down many a bureaucratic rabbit holes. With our promise that our builds will meet your local standards we do allot of research for each new area. Every time I dive into a bid for someone I'm shocked with the disparities in our state, from county to county and even city to city, lets not get into other states. 
​
Do they require, fire suppression, self closing windows, how much refrigeration, can you be self contained, do you need a commissary, how much water will you need, what temp should your water be? I can go on and on. The fact is the state has standard which all health departments follow, where it goes side ways is the interpretation.  Different counties or even inspectors can take the written rules in whatever they want. I can't be the judge on whether this is right or wrong. I can only deal with these variations and the heart of it all is to keep the industry safe for you and your customers. I just want to urge anyone who is starting a business to be informed, the regional subtleties can have a bit of backlash.

This is a bit of venting, but please just be prepared and do your research. Or you can always pay some one to do it.
