Food Truck Commissary Letter Guide

A commissary letter or commissary agreement is a document that confirms your food truck has permission to use a licensed kitchen or approved facility. Many health departments require this document before issuing or renewing a mobile food permit.

Typical information on a commissary letter

• commissary business name;
• commissary address;
• permit or license information if required;
• services provided to the food truck;
• owner or manager signature;
• dates or term of agreement.

Before paying a kitchen, ask whether they can provide the exact paperwork your city or county requires. Rules vary by local health department.
