Frequently asked questions

I'm opening a food truck selling sandwiches and hot food: code 56.12.01 or a takeaway restaurant code?
Usually 56.12.01, which is specifically for mobile food service using fitted vans and trucks such as food trucks. A fixed takeaway-only establishment is 56.11.12 instead. The key distinction here is the mobility of the vehicle.
I sell prepared food from a market stall: 56.12.01 or catering?
If you prepare and sell food from market or event stalls for immediate consumption, it is 56.12.01. Event catering on a commissioned basis, with dedicated setup and service, is a different activity and falls under 56.21.01.
A food truck selling ice cream or pastries: does it always fall under 56.12.01?
No — mobile food service is split by product. Ice cream sold from mobile vehicles falls under 56.12.02, and pastries and cakes under 56.12.03. Code 56.12.01 covers hot food and savoury snacks, not ice cream or pancakes.
