Temporary Food Event Planning


Proper Planning…Equals a Perfectly Planned Event

How many food vendors will be involved? Where will we hold the event this year? So much to do, so much to plan! The key to planning the perfect event is time management. It takes a consorted effort from you and the City to make it happen!

The Event Coordinator must provide the City of Plano Health Temporary Event Coordinator with the following information:

Name, contact information, and menu of all participating food vendors

Site plan, identifying booth location, trash disposal, porta-potties, food preparation, hand wash station(s), cold/hot hold equipment, cooking equipment, tents (include tent size)

Anticipated number of attendees

Provide a complete mailing address of confirmed food vendors, no later than 30 business days prior to the scheduled event.

Schedule date of vendor meeting preferably at least 20 business days prior to the scheduled date of the large event, allow at least 1 hour and 30 minutes for Health to present relevant food safety and submittal information to meeting attendees.
