    About this ebook

    Want to be a business entrepreneur as a food vendor!
    We don’t have to depend on employment anymore for the rest of our life.

    This book is a comprehensive guide to assist you in starting a small business as a food vendor in order to generate extra or additional income for your home.
    You don’t need as much money to start as a food vendor as compared to opening a conventional food restaurant.
    It is easier than you think and it can immediately start generating the income you desire rather than keep you depending on others for employment for the rest of your life.

    In North America, especially in the United State of America (U.S.A) and Canada, people often go to the events like fun fairs, art gallery fairs, and other events to celebrate special days. These people enjoy participating in the events and, most of the time, buy the foods made available at those events. These foods are served by local food vendors who, in many cases, have a special talent for cooking the food and do it as extra work in addition to their professional day-to-day career.

    Some readers might have a talent for cooking food too and wonder whether selling their food in these similar events could provide an extra income in addition to their regular income from their employment work. However, most of us might not know there are a lot of rules and regulations that need to be understood in order to carry out these activities and become a food vendor.

    When normal people are working as employees, some extra works might require money and time that normally employed people don’t have. This book provides an alternative for normal people who would like to find extra income by doing extra works outside their day-to-day professional career. It doesn’t require a big amount of funds to create a business or even a huge effort or time that a regular day-to-day employee doesn’t have. It is to start a small business as a food vendor at the fairs and/or special events. This book will walk the readers through the process of setting up this business.

    The readers might be able to set up this business by asking their friends who do this business. However, knowing information a bit here and there in piece by piece will not benefit in the long term to start a business. A lot of information about rules and regulations are to follow. Many of these rules and regulations differ in application and reinforcement from one location to another.

    This book is structurally organized and easy for a new beginner to understand and follow so you can walk successfully from the starting line. It can be used for a reference should the readers run into some specific issues in the future while operating a food vendor business.

    The readers will be learning about food markets, food regulations, food preparation, food assessment, food inspection, food guideline, and food checklist. The list of some commercial food testing laboratories is also provided, in case some food vendors might need their services.

      The Purpose of This Book

      In North America, especially in the United State of America (U.S.A) and Canada, people often go to the events like fun fairs, art gallery fairs, and other events to celebrate special days. These people enjoy participating in the events and, most of the time, buy the foods made available at those events.

      These foods are served by small to big vendors. Some of these foods are unique and delicious and might not be available for sale in supermarkets or restaurants. This is because these foods are specially made or prepared by the local vendors who, in many cases, have a special talent for cooking the food and do it as extra work in addition to their professional day-to-day career.

      Some readers might have a special talent for cooking food too and wonder whether selling their food in some of these similar events could provide an extra income in addition to their regular income from their professional career, employed by others. However, most of us might not know there are a lot of rules and regulations that need to be understood in order to carry out these activities and become a food vendor.

      In the North American culture, people always look for additional activities outside their day to day job. Some people do these activities as a part of their hobbies for relaxing and getting away from their regular job. Many of these people developed their hobby further to create additional income streams.

      On the other hand, many people have been working on their professional career for years and still find that they cannot make ends meet for their expenses. Therefore, they are looking to do some extra works to earn extra income. Many of them started with a home-based business and while some of these home-based businesses are legitimate, many of them do not work well.

      When normal people who have been working for others as employees have to sell their time for money for a certain number of hours per week, these people often do not have the time to do any extra work. This extra work might require money and/or time that normally employed people don’t have.

      If we are working for others five days a week for at least eight hours a day we pretty much will only have a weekend left to do something else. If we are working for others as an employee it will require a big effort and funds to become an entrepreneur. We have to use the funds left from our employment income and the time left from working for others throughout the work week.

      For the above reasons, this book provides an alternative for normal people who would like to find extra income by doing extra work outside their day-to-day professional career. A professional career means selling time to others as an employee in exchange for income.

      This alternative doesn’t require a big amount of funds to create a business or even a huge effort or time that a regular day-to-day employee doesn’t have. This alternative is to start a small business as a food vendor at the fairs and/or special events. This book will provide enough information to walk the readers through the process of setting up this business.

      Some of the readers might find it easier to set up this business if they ask friends who have done this kind of business before. However, some readers might not have any friends who have a food vending business. Also, the readers have to keep in mind that knowing information a bit here and there in piece by piece will not benefit them in the long term to start a business.

      There is a lot of information about rules and regulations to follow. Many of these rules and regulations differ in application and reinforcement from one location to another. By the time you go through all this information, you might be discouraged to continue pursuing the dream of becoming a food vendor or too confused to know which rules and regulations to apply and when and where to apply them.

      Strategically, it is more of a benefit and advantage for the readers to get an overall picture of what activities are involved for this business before starting to do it. Also, understanding its principles will be easy and not confused by a lot of information that is available from so many sources. Instead, it is structurally organized and easy for a new beginner to understand and follow so you can walk successfully from the starting line.

      Knowing the overall view with structurally organized information will surely create the odds of success in multiple folds. Also, it can be used for a reference should the readers run into some specific issues in the future while operating a food vendor business. This book is mainly to serve this purpose.

      Chapter 1: Food Markets

      This chapter could be considered the most important chapter. The author will not only provide knowledge and information regarding food markets but also convince you of these alternative means for people who might want to look for extra and/or additional income in addition to their ordinary income from their day-to-day careers.

      The chapter will start by explaining the different types of food markets and food vendors. The chapter will also differentiate between conventional food markets and unconventional food markets, and then discuss in detail the unconventional markets as a main idea of this book.

      Three different unconventional markets are a farmer’s market, a flea market, and a special event market (whose nature and operation will be discussed in length). As one purpose of this book is to encourage people to improve and help themselves to do better in their financial situation and family economy, this chapter will discuss in length the advantages and benefits of participating in these food markets, especially by becoming a food vendor. These advantages and benefits not only apply to the food vendors themselves but also to the community and consumers.

      There are three different major types of food vendors that we will learn about in order to find which one is suitable for us. Also, each different food vendor comes with different responsibilities and regulations to deal with.

      In this chapter, we will also discuss in length why becoming a food vendor is interesting to us and then close the chapter with some disadvantages. Like anything in life, there are always a mix of both advantages and disadvantages. It is for our own good to learn them first hand and prepare to cope with them in advance to prevent these disadvantages.

      The different types of food markets and food vendors

      Food markets are the different types of markets we have seen at an event and/or a certain location that are not conventionally permanent stores run by a commercial business owner year round.

      We are not discussing grocery stores, supermarkets, convenience stores, or restaurants but the food markets that have been temporarily operated in temporary locations, like a farmer’s market, fun fair, art gallery event, or flea market.

      In these temporary food markets, there are several kinds of food vendors. These food vendors carry different types of food. Each type of food has different levels of risks for consumption, at least by the measurement and regulation set forth by related legal authorities at the location of that food markets.

      In the following sections of this chapter, we dedicate this space to getting to know these food markets and food vendors in terms of their definitions. What is the difference between one market and another market and one type off food vendor to another?

      What are the major types of temporary food markets?

      As said, we will discuss only food markets that are not conventional like grocery stores, supermarkets, and/or restaurants. We call these food markets temporary food markets. There are a few kinds of temporary food markets and we must know their rules and regulations as they can differ slightly from one to the next.

      A farmer’s market

      One popular kind of temporary food markets is a farmer’s market. A farmer’s market is a short-term operating market. It is set to sell produce by produce vendors and to sell food products by food vendors. It is very normal in the farmer’s market to also see
