2683-22 Ordinance - Food Delivery Vehicle.pdf

2683-22 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY The future of dining has changed dramatically over the last decade. Numerous mobile delivery services exist. The latest innovation with regard to upscale dining involves ancillary food delivery vehicles which are dispatched to a customer’s home where the trained driver reheats and plates the meal to deliver it hot and ready to eat at the customer’s front door. This aspect of the service is no different than a catered event. However, part of the culinary preparation process is to maintain a large-scale commissary kitchen in a convenient location. Because of the proximity of the Township of West Orange, the Township is hopeful that one of these innovative food technology businesses will locate in the Township as a hub for various deliveries in the region. The purpose of this Ordinance is to set up a system whereby the ancillary food delivery vehicles are inspected by the Health Department on an annual basis.
