Notes
Hospitality sector — applicable VAT rate for prepared food and drinks. Food trucks operate frequently at markets, festivals, and events. A reduced menu simplifies stock management: load only what is needed for each service. A portable card reader is essential as customers often pay by card or contactless. Verify that the municipal licence permits operating at each location.
