Food truck resources in Georgia
Georgia requires mobile food service units to be licensed by the county health department where the truck's commissary is located. The Georgia Department of Public Health sets food safety standards based on the Georgia Food Service Rules. All food trucks must operate from an approved base of operations or commissary kitchen. Counties and cities, including Atlanta and Savannah, impose additional permits, zoning rules, and proximity restrictions near brick-and-mortar restaurants.
