Fujian Quanzhou Internet celebrity "coffee car" has been urgently stopped! Is it illegal to operate refitted coffee cars in China?

I do not know when, the streets of the city will begin to flash all kinds of coffee cars. Open the little red book to search for "mobile coffee car", the relevant notes have been more than 10,000 +, whether in big cities or small cities, as long as people gather, you will see the coffee car.

The emergence of coffee cars may be due to the low cost and low threshold, and the mode of selling coffee is more free. therefore, refitting the vehicle into a mobile coffee shop has become one of the entrepreneurial options for many enthusiasts who like coffee but do not have enough money to open a coffee shop. According to the Quanzhou net report, since March, the police in Fengze District of Quanzhou City have received reports from citizens one after another that groups of high-power motorcycles have roared past along Fenghai Road recently, and individual motorcyclists like to drive modified locomotives, and the sound of "booming" is very disturbing to the people. So during the investigation, the police found that these high-power motorcycles would gather at motorcycle repair shops, "locomotive clubs" or Internet celebrities at night to communicate and take photos. In the process of gathering, illegal behaviors such as random driving and illegal parking often occur, and there is a loud noise on the way. The reason for the recent emergence of so many high-power motorcycles on Fenghai Road is that five coffee cars have been parked on the section of Taihe Square on Fenghai Road, thus attracting many cars and high-power motorcycles who come to "clock in" to illegally park on the roadside, causing noise and interfering with normal traffic.

While detaining seven high-power motorcycles, the police investigated and dealt with five illegally modified "coffee trucks" that occupied non-motorized lanes and persuaded them to leave. Because the business is too hot, the toolbox supplies of these mobile coffee carts will take up the aisle, and the road will be jammed with people who come to buy coffee and take pictures. For this reason, some pedestrians who pass by here can only make a detour, which has a great impact on the order of the city.

Relevant law enforcement officers said: this way of selling coffee has hidden dangers in the use of electricity and food safety, as well as the occupation of public parking spaces and sidewalks that have damaged the cityscape around the shipping center. According to the provisions of paragraph 2 of Article 11 of the measures for the investigation and punishment of unlicensed Operation, some of the operating tools of the "network celebrity" coffee truck suspected of operating without a license have been detained, requiring the operator to accept further treatment.

Although the experience of a coffee car seems to be lower than the cost of opening a coffee shop, the mobile coffee car has its own limitations, such as limited space for mobile coffee carts, insufficient space for water, electricity and coffee equipment, bad weather unable to sell stalls as scheduled, too much liquidity, capital investment in the early stage may not be able to earn back in the later stage, and so on.

The biggest problem with running a coffee truck in China is that it is difficult for venue renters to regard mobile cars as permanent experience, so if they want to apply for a license for mobile stalls, many people will "touch the door" in the end. At the same time, government departments have many restrictions on the operation of mobile stalls, and mobile stalls can not be implemented in place for the hygiene standards of the catering industry. If the documents are not fully handled, we should not "flock to" the operation of mobile coffee cars.

Although many foreign coffee trucks can be successful, domestic partners still have to do business in accordance with domestic laws. Handsome is handsome, but illegal is illegal after all.
