Pilot Programs
These are some of the services likely to be a part of any program we provide:
Working with the city to plan, design, create and launch new Food Truck destinations uniquely suited to multiple locations,
Provide consulting and advice to the city’s designated program manager upon request, without hourly consultation fees, for the duration of the Food Truck Program agreement,
Finding and recruiting location-appropriate mobile food vendors, and obtaining proof of all required state and local licenses, permits, plus site-specific insurance prior to allowing individual vendors to participate at the program locations,
Scheduling qualified mobile food vendors for service on various days/times, and maintaining an on-line calendar on our website indicating which vendors(s) will be serving on a particular day and time (the service days/hours available for vendors to book themselves will be recommended by the WSFTA and approved by the city),
Mediating any conflicts or disputes between mobile food vendors,
Coordinating marketing and promotional efforts with the city, and promoting the food vendors and vending locations via WSFTA social media accounts, WSFTA website, press releases, and other promotional materials such as posters and handouts,
Ensuring that the mobile food vendors are instructed on how to park appropriately and legally, as illustrated on any site plans, and will require that the areas surrounding the vending locations are kept in a neat, clean and orderly condition, that vendors are following the program Terms & Conditions, and City Best Practices,
Maintaining a webpage for the City Food Truck Program, including program details for vendors, the public and regulatory agencies,
Collecting daily individual vendor sales data, as well as overall performance data per location plus community feedback, and providing this information to the city for periodic review and evaluation, either monthly or upon request,
